OECD The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
SUMMARY
OECD Data Explorer (Old version: OECD.Stat) is the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s database, housing data on a variety of indicators, including those on agriculture, development, labor, and international trade. OECD.Stat collects data on both member and non-member countries for indicators on development, agriculture, education, and a myriad of addition economic variables. (OECD.Stat has reached the end of its life and will be switched-off end of March 2024.)

Data by Topic
- Development
- Offical Development Assistance (ODA)
- Flows by donor (ODA+OOF+Private) [DAC1]: Official and Private Flows - Disbursements and Commitments. Aggregate data (no breakdown by recipient) on ODA, OOF, private and NGO data by donor, type of aid and flow. The data cover flows from DAC member countries, EU Institutions and non-DAC providers.
- Definition of Net ODA: Official development assistance (ODA) is defined as government aid designed to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries. Loans and credits for military purposes are excluded. The OECD maintains a list of developing countries and territories; only aid to these countries counts as ODA. The list is periodically updated and currently contains over 150 countries or territories (see DAC List of ODA Recipients: https://oe.cd/dac-list ). Prior to 2018, the ODA flows basis methodology covered loans expressed on a “cash basis”, meaning their full face value was included, then repayments were subtracted as they came in. From 2018, the ODA grant-equivalent methodology is used whereby only the “grant portion” of the loan, i.e. the amount “given” by lending below market rates, counts as ODA. This indicator is measured as a percentage of gross national income and million USD constant prices, using 2021 as the base year. (From: https://data.oecd.org/oda/net-oda.htm)
