Development Aid Disbursements for Production Sectors

Gross ODA aid disbursement data aggregates financial flows from DAC donors into four key production sectors: agriculture, forestry and fishing; industry, mining and construction; trade policy and regulations; and tourism. Figures are reported in current U.S. dollars. The data is compiled by the Africa Development Indicators organization from the World Bank platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in aid allocated to agriculture, forestry and fishing (DT.ODA.DACD.PROD.AGRI.CD) versus industrial sectors (DT.ODA.DACD.PROD.INDS.CD) over time.
• Model the relationship between trade policy aid (DT.ODA.DACD.PROD.TRDP.CD) and tourism sector aid (DT.ODA.DACD.PROD.TRSM.CD) from DAC donors.
• Forecast future total ODA disbursements for production sectors using historical time-series data in current U.S. dollars.

Strengths

• Data provides a clear aggregate total for four distinct production sectors, enabling direct comparison.
• Financial values are standardized in current U.S. dollars, facilitating cross-temporal and cross-national analysis.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and temporal coverage are unknown, limiting assessment of dataset scope.
• Data is an aggregate total for DAC donors, obscuring contributions from individual donor countries.
