ODA Disbursements for Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing from DAC Donors

World Bank data aggregates total Official Development Assistance disbursements for the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors from all DAC donors. Figures are reported in current U.S. dollars, compiled by the Africa Development Indicators organization. The data covers multiple years, though the specific temporal range is not provided.

Use Cases

• Analyze annual trends in total ODA disbursement for the aggregated agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector using the time-series data.
• Compare the relative scale of aid flows for agriculture (DT.ODA.DACD.PROD.AGRI.AGR.CD), forestry (DT.ODA.DACD.PROD.AGRI.FORS.CD), and fishing (DT.ODA.DACD.PROD.AGRI.FISH.CD) by examining the component series.
• Model the relationship between total agricultural sector ODA (current US$) and macroeconomic indicators in recipient countries.

Strengths

• Data is aggregated from the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), a major authoritative source for international aid statistics.
• Provides a consistent metric (current U.S. dollars) for cross-year and cross-donor comparison of financial flows.

Limitations

• The dataset is an aggregate total, preventing analysis of individual donor country contributions or recipient country allocations.
• Sample data, row counts, and specific temporal coverage are unknown, limiting assessment of dataset scope and completeness.
