Scope

The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) collects aid flow data at activity level based on a standard methodology and agreed definitions. The Aid to Energy Generation and Supply sector is broken down into 17 sub sectors covering policy, research, training, distribution as well as generation by type.
