EU Official Development Aid disbursed in 2013

ODA statistics are produced by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In 2013 EU institutions, 19 EU countries and 9 non-EU countries were members of the DAC. To be classified as ODA, development assistance currently needs to meet a number of requirements (provided by official agencies; administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective; and concessional
in character, with a grant element of at least 25%). Official development assistance (ODA) consists of grants or loans that are undertaken by the official sector with the objective of promoting economic development and welfare in recipient countries. Disbursements record the actual international transfer of financial resources, or of goods or services valued at the cost of the donor. ODA is here presented as a share of Gross National Income (GNI). GNI at market prices equals Gross Domestic Product (GDP) minus primary income payable by resident units to non-resident units, plus primary income receivable by resident units from the rest the world. The list of countries eligible to receive ODA is determined by the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee. Further graphical information on EU aid is available in the EU Aid Explorer.
