The International Development Statistics databases (Preliminary 2021 figures were published on 13/4/2022 and are available in Table DAC1. All online databases were updated on 8/4/2022 with final 2020 figures.) 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.

There are two ways to access DAC and CRS data.
