Definition and concepts | Not available for this indicator |
Definition: Total official development assistance (ODA) grants from all donors that focus on poverty reduction as a share of the recipient country’s gross national income. The OECD/Development Assistance Committee (DAC) defines ODA as “flows to countries and territories on the DAC List of ODA Recipients and to multilateral institutions which are i) provided by official agencies, including state and local governments, or by their executive agencies; and ii) each transaction is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective; and is concessional in character and conveys a grant element of at least 25 per cent (calculated at a rate of discount of 10 per cent). (See http://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/officialdevelopmentassistancedefinitionandcoverage.htm). Poverty reduction items can be defined as ODA to basic social services (basic health, basic education, basic water and sanitation, population programmes and reproductive health) and developmental food aid (see here: http://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/purposecodessectorclassification.htm). Concepts: The OECD/Development Assistance Committee (DAC) defines ODA as “flows to countries and territories on the DAC List of ODA Recipients and to multilateral institutions which are i) provided by official agencies, including state and local governments, or by their executive agencies; and ii) each transaction is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective; and is concessional in character and conveys a grant element of at least 25 per cent (calculated at a rate of discount of 10 per cent). (See http://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/officialdevelopmentassistancedefinitionandcoverage.htm). Basic social services and development food aid, which focus on poverty reduction, are defined using the following OECD Creditor Reporting System purpose codes, which identify the sector the activity is intended to target:

Data sources | Not available for this indicator |
The OECD/DAC has been collecting data on official and private resource flows, from 1960 at an aggregate level, and 1973 at an activity level through the Creditor Reporting System (CRS data are considered complete from 1995 for commitments at an activity level and 2002 for disbursements). The data are reported by donors according to the same standards and methodologies (see here: http://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/methodology.htm). Data are reported on an annual calendar year basis by statistical reporters in national administrations (aid agencies, Ministries of Foreign Affairs or Finance, etc.) |
Data collection method | Not available for this indicator |
A statistical reporter is responsible for the collection of DAC statistics in each providing country/agency. This reporter is usually located in the national aid agency, Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Finance etc. The OECD prepares and sends a questionnaire on aid flows (at an activity level and aggregate level) to the national statistical reporter every year. |
Data collection calendar | Not available for this indicator |
Data collection is annual. Detailed 2019 flows will be published in December 2020. |
Data release calendar | Not available for this indicator |
Detailed 2019 flows will be published in December 2020. |
Data providers | Not available for this indicator |

Rationale | Not available for this indicator |
Total ODA flows to developing countries quantify the public effort (excluding non- concessional flows and export credits), that all donors provide for the economic development and welfare of developing countries. Within ODA, basic social services and development food aid focus on poverty alleviation in developing countries. |
Comments and limitations | Not available for this indicator |
Data in the Creditor Reporting System (i.e. at an activity level), are available from 1973 onwards. However, the data coverage is considered complete since 1995 for commitments and 2002 for disbursements. |
Method of computation | Not available for this indicator |
From a donor country’s perspective: The sum of bilateral ODA grants by donor that focus on poverty reduction as a share of the donor country’s gross national income. From a recipient country’s perspective: The sum of total ODA grants from all donors (i.e. DAC donors, multilateral organisations and other bilateral providers of development cooperation) that focus on poverty reduction as a share of the developing country’s gross national income. |

Treatment of missing values (i) at country level and (ii) at regional level | Not available for this indicator |
Due to high quality of reporting, no estimates are produced for missing data. • At country level Due to high quality of reporting, no estimates are produced for missing data. • At regional and global levels Due to high quality of reporting, no estimates are produced for missing data. |
Regional aggregations | Not available for this indicator |
Global, regional and country figures are based on the sum of ODA grant flows for poverty reduction. |
Methods and guidance available to countries for the compilation of the data at the national level | Not available for this indicator |
The DAC statistical Reporting Directives govern the reporting of DAC statistics, and are reviewed and agreed by the DAC Working Party of Development Finance Statistics, see: https://one.oecd.org/document/DCD/DAC/STAT(2018)9/FINAL/en/pdf |
