Official Development Aid for Basic Health from DAC Donors

Gross Official Development Assistance disbursements for basic health programs, measured in current U.S. dollars. The data is compiled by the World Bank from the Africa Development Indicators organization. It covers aid from Development Assistance Committee (DAC) donors for areas including basic health care, nutrition, infectious disease control, and health personnel development.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in total aid disbursement for basic health from DAC donors over time.
• Compare the scale of funding for specific health sub-sectors like malaria control or tuberculosis control.
• Correlate aid amounts in current U.S. dollars with health outcome indicators in recipient countries.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative World Bank and Africa Development Indicators.
• Provides a standardized monetary measure (current U.S. dollars) for cross-year and cross-donor comparison.

Limitations

• The specific number of data rows, time range, and geographic coverage are unknown.
• Data granularity is limited to a total for all DAC donors, preventing donor-specific or recipient-country-specific analysis.
