Official Development Aid for Humanitarian Assistance from DAC Donors

World Bank data aggregates total Official Development Assistance (ODA) disbursements for humanitarian aid from DAC donors in current U.S. dollars. The dataset combines funding for other emergency and distress relief, reconstruction relief, and disaster prevention and preparedness. It is compiled by the Africa Development Indicators team.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in total humanitarian aid disbursements over time using the time-series data.
• Compare funding levels between emergency relief, reconstruction, and disaster prevention categories.
• Model the relationship between total DAC donor aid and global humanitarian crises using annual financial aggregates.

Strengths

• Aggregates three distinct humanitarian aid funding categories into a single total metric.
• Provides financial data in a standardized currency (current U.S. dollars) for cross-year comparison.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and time range are not provided in the input.
• The dataset's geographic scope is limited to reporting from DAC (Development Assistance Committee) donor countries.
