International Development Statistics online databases (IDS online)
The International Development Statistics databases (updated on 9 April 2018) 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.
QWIDS (Query Wizard for International Development Statistics)
is the easiest way to search our databases as it automatically selects the most appropriate dataset to match your search.
OECD.Stat
is the OECD's data warehouse. Access is recommended for users familiar with the content of individual DAC and CRS dataset.
- Visit IDS online for more information about these databases, other thematic datasets, popular queries and bulk downloads.
