The DAC databases cover bilateral and multilateral donors’ aid and other resource flows to developing countries in two separate databases:

• The DAC annual aggregates database, which provides comprehensive data on the volume, origin and types of aid and other resource flows;

• The Creditor Reporting System (CRS), which provides detailed information on individual aid activities, such as sectors, countries, project descriptions etc.

These databases are accessible through two interfaces:

• The OECD.STAT browser for users familiar with the DAC and CRS databases;

• The new wizard QWIDS (Query Wizard for International Development Statistics) pulls data from OECD.STAT and offers an intuitive interface for users less familiar with the structure and content of the DAC and CRS databases.
