Indicator 17.2.1: Net official development assistance, total and to least developed countries, as a proportion of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee donors' gross national income (GNI)

Definition:

The indicator Net official development assistance, total and to least developed countries, as a proportion of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee donors' gross national income (GNI)is defined as Net ODA disbursements as a per cent of GNI.

Concepts:

ODA: The DAC defines ODA as “those flows to countries and territories on the DAC List of ODA Recipients and to multilateral institutions which are

i) provided by official agencies, including state and local governments, or by their executive agencies; and
ii) each transaction is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective; and is concessional in character and conveys a grant element of at least 25 per cent (calculated at a rate of discount of 10 per cent). (See https://www.oecd.org/en/topics/sub-issues/oda-eligibility-and-conditions/official-development-assistance–definition-and-coverage.html)

Other official flows (OOF): Other official flows (excluding officially supported export credits) are defined as transactions by the official sector which do not meet the conditions for eligibility as ODA, either because they are not primarily aimed at development, or because they are not sufficiently concessional. (See https://web-archive.oecd.org/2016-06-02/239150-DCDDAC%282016%293FINAL.pdf, Para 24).

The agriculture sector is as defined by the DAC and comprises all CRS sector codes in the 311 series (see here: https://web-archive.oecd.org/temp/2019-03-28/80638-purposecodessectorclassification.htm).
