Notes:
- The OECD defines net ODA as “government aid designed to promote
the economic development and welfare of developing countries. Loans and credits
for military purposes are excluded. Aid may be provided bilaterally, from donor
to recipient, or channeled through a multilateral development agency such as
the United Nations or the World Bank. Aid includes grants, ‘soft’ loans (where
the grant element is at least 25% of the total) and the provision of technical
assistance. 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 with per capita incomes
below USD 12 276 in 2010. A long-standing United Nations target is that
developed countries should devote 0.7% of their gross national income to ODA.
This indicator is measured as a percentage of gross national income and million
USD constant prices, using 2014 as the base year.”
- GNI replaced gross domestic product (GDP) as the concept for
measuring donor performance in 1993.
