How much official development assistance gets spent in each country? Where are donors spending the most money? Which country gets the most money per capita?
In order to answer these questions, Devex looked into data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to understand which countries receive both the most overall, and the most relative to their population size.
We looked at the $107.2 billion in total grant ODA disbursed worldwide in 2021. Future articles will look at how overall ODA distribution compares to the behavior of individual donors, and how ODA per capita measures up against gross national income per capita.
