World Development Indicators data tracks net bilateral aid flows from Development Assistance Committee donors to Iceland. The dataset contains net disbursements of official development assistance and official aid, measured in current U.S. dollars. Data collection for official aid flows to Part II countries, which included more advanced economies, ended in 2004.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in net aid disbursements (grants minus loan repayments) to Iceland over time.
- Compare aid contributions from specific DAC member countries listed in the description.
- Model the relationship between aid flows and economic indicators using the current U.S. dollar values.
- Study the impact of the 2005 policy change that abolished the Part II recipient list on aid data structure.
Strengths
- Data is defined by the standardized DAC methodology for official development assistance.
- Includes flows from all 30 DAC members and EU institutions, providing donor coverage.
Limitations
- Sample size for the specific Iceland series is unknown and likely small given the single recipient.
- Data for official aid flows to Part II countries is temporally stale, ending in 2004.
- Regional and world aggregates include unallocated aid, which may obscure bilateral specifics.
