Net official development assistance (ODA) per capita data consists of concessional loans and grants disbursed to promote economic development and welfare in recipient countries. The indicator is calculated by dividing net ODA received by midyear population estimates, including loans with a grant element of at least 25 percent. This dataset is part of the World Development Indicators collection from the World Bank.
