Directives for reporting to the aid activity database (Creditor Reporting System)

Bookmark this page: www.oecd.org/dac/stats/crs/directives

The CRS Directives (Directives and Addendum on Aid for Trade) specify the resource flows covered in the database, provide information on the main uses of the data, and give practical instructions for data compilers.

In addition to the full PDF version:

• sector codes (Annex 5 from the CRS Directives) can be downloaded in Excel or Word;
• channel codes are available in Excel;
• reporting forms.  

Guidelines for reporting CRS/DAC in converged format are provided separately: CRS++ guidelines.
