The latest official development assistance data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development provides new insights on funding trends and priorities in development, particularly from countries contributing to the Development Assistance Committee.
Covering 2015, the data released in late December is a source of important value for NGOs and the broader development sector in planning programs and resources as well as identifying areas where private sector partners will need to become a higher value resource in the future.
In our analysis of OECD’s data, Devex has delved into ODA and DAC trends to provide insights into funding changes and issues impacting development programs. We have developed a Tableau insight tool providing a 2015 DAC snapshot, time series information on DAC funding since 1995, analysis features to compare selected donor countries and donor funding profiles by year. DAC recipients can be analysed by developing countries, LDCs and total funding including contributions to multilateral organizations. Below are a few of the insights that stand out from the latest data.
