The International Development Statistics databases 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.

 All online databases were updated on 12/4/2023 to 2021 constant prices and Table DAC1 with 2022 preliminary figures.

There are two ways to access DAC and CRS data.
