Net Official Development Assistance Received in Current US Dollars

Net official development assistance data tracks disbursements of concessional loans and grants from DAC members, multilateral institutions, and non-DAC countries to promote economic development. The World Development Indicators team at the World Bank compiles this data, measured in current U.S. dollars.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in net ODA disbursements over time for specific recipient countries.
• Compare the volume of grants versus concessional loans using the grant element calculation (at least 25%).
• Model the relationship between net ODA received and other economic indicators like GDP growth.
• Assess the distribution of aid from DAC members versus non-DAC countries to ODA recipients.

Strengths

• Data is compiled by the World Bank's World Development Indicators, a primary source for global development data.
• Uses a standardized definition of ODA, including loans with a grant element of at least 25%.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and temporal coverage are unknown from the provided description.
