Official Development Aid Disbursements for Education by DAC Donors

World Bank data aggregates total gross Official Development Assistance (ODA) disbursements for education from all Development Assistance Committee (DAC) donors. It combines unspecified, basic, secondary, and post-secondary education aid flows, with values reported in current U.S. dollars. The data is compiled by the Africa Development Indicators team within the World Bank.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in total education aid (DT.ODA.DACD.EDU.UNKN.CD) over time to assess donor commitment.
• Compare funding allocations between basic (DT.ODA.DACD.EDU.BAS.CD), secondary (DT.ODA.DACD.EDU.SEC.CD), and post-secondary (DT.ODA.DACD.EDU.PSEC.CD) education sectors.
• Model the relationship between total DAC donor aid and other economic indicators using the aggregated current U.S. dollar values.
• Benchmark individual donor country contributions against the aggregated DAC total for education.

Strengths

• Aggregates data from all Development Assistance Committee (DAC) member countries, providing a complete donor picture.
• Disaggregates total aid into four specific education sub-sectors: unspecified, basic, secondary, and post-secondary.

Limitations

• Specific row count, time range, and individual donor breakdowns are not provided in the input.
• Data for non-DAC donors and recipient country details are absent from this aggregated view.
• Values are in nominal current U.S. dollars and are not adjusted for inflation.
