Emerging providers of development finance and other countries that are not members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) have an increasingly important role in financing development co-operation (see Table 1). This generates a stronger need for transparency on their development co-operation programmes. Statistics, analyses and information on reporting by these countries to the OECD are available here. Estimates are published on countries that do not provide the OECD with data.

 

Table 1: Estimated global development co-operation flows, 2011-15 (gross figures, current prices, USD billion)
		2011	2012	2013	2014	2015	2015 (% of total)
ODA from current 28 DAC member countries		135.0	126.9	134.7	137.4	131.4	84.2
ODA from 20 reporting countries beyond the DAC		8.9	6.2	16.4	24.7	17.7	11.3
Estimated development co-operation flows from ten non-reporting countries beyond the DAC		5.2	5.6	6.8	7	6.9	4.4
Subtotal flows from non-DAC providers		14.1	11.8	23.2	31.7	24.6	15.8
Estimated global total		149.1	138.7	157.9	169.1	156	100
Note: For Brazil, Mexico and Qatar 2015 bilateral development co-operation figures were not available at the time. OECD estimates were made by using 2014 figures for bilateral co-operation and the 2015 data on multilateral flows.

Reporting by countries beyond the DAC

The OECD/DAC encourages all providers of development co-operation to report their aid flows and is available to assist in this effort. More detailed and comprehensive information on these flows allows providers and recipients alike to make more informed decisions on aid allocations and helps to identify countries and sectors that may be over- or under-funded.

• Non-DAC countries and the debate on measuring post-2015 development finance (DAC paper, February 2014)
  This paper includes estimates on total global development finance. At the point of publication Mexico had not yet published its development co-operation figures, so these are not yet taken into account.

• Reporting practices of non-DAC countries, multilateral organisations and private foundations (July 2016, pdf)

• Seminars on development finance statistics

• To get a better overview of all its official support for development, the UAE has completed a pilot exercise with the OECD: A broader framework of development finance from the UAE
