Official Development Aid for Unspecified Support from DAC Donors

Gross ODA aid disbursement for unallocated or unspecified support, reported in current U.S. dollars. Data is compiled by the Africa Development Indicators team, focusing on total contributions from Development Assistance Committee donors. The dataset covers sectors not specified and promotion of development awareness.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in unspecified ODA disbursement amounts over time from DAC donors.
• Compare the scale of unallocated aid support against other, sector-specific aid categories.
• Model the relationship between total ODA and the portion designated for 'promotion of development awareness'.
• Assess donor contributions to non-specified sectors using the reported current U.S. dollar values.

Strengths

• Data is reported in a standardized, comparable unit (current U.S. dollars).
• Focuses on a specific, defined aid category from authoritative DAC donors.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and temporal coverage are unknown.
• Data granularity is limited to a total aggregate figure for 'DAC donors total'.
• The 'unallocated/unspecified' nature of the support may limit detailed causal analysis.
