International Development Statistics online databases (IDS online)
The International Development Statistics databases cover bilateral and multilateral aid (ODA), private providers’ aid and other resource flows to developing countries. Data are presented under three sub-themes:
- “Flows by provider”: volume, origin and types of aid and other resource flows;
- “Flows by provider and recipient”: historical and forward-looking data on volume, origin and destination of resource flows;
- “Flows based on individual projects (CRS)”: detailed information on individual aid activities, such as sectors, countries, project descriptions etc. used to derive aggregate data.
All online databases were updated on 20/12/2022 with final 2021 figures.
There are two ways to access DAC and CRS data.
