Bilateral official development assistance (ODA) commitments that are untied, measured as a percentage of total bilateral ODA commitments. The data tracks firm financial obligations from donor countries to recipient countries or multilateral organizations where procurement is not restricted to the donor nation. It is compiled by the World Bank as part of the Millennium Development Goals indicators.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in the proportion of untied aid commitments over time for specific donor or recipient countries.
- Model the relationship between a country's untied aid percentage and other economic development indicators.
- Compare untied aid commitment levels across different donor nations or regions using country and year fields.
Strengths
- Data is defined by the standardized OECD-DAC methodology for measuring Official Development Assistance.
- Provides a specific metric (percentage) focused on procurement conditionality within aid commitments.
Limitations
- The exact temporal coverage, row count, and geographic scope are unspecified.
- Data may represent commitments rather than actual disbursements, which can differ.
