Technical Notes
"Adapted from the World Bank's World Development Indicators"
""
"Definition:"
"Aid as a percent of government expenditure is the amount of official development assistance (ODA) received by a country as a percentage of its central government expenditure. This indicator provides a measure of the recipient country's dependency on aid."
""
"ODA consists of loans and grants given to countries and territories on the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list of aid recipients by multilateral organizations, DAC member countries, and non-DAC donors. They do not reflect aid given by recipient countries to other developing countries. As a result, some countries that are net donors (i.e. Saudi Arabia) are shown here as aid recipients."
""
"To qualify as ODA, grants or loans must promote economic development and welfare as the main objective, must be undertaken by the official sector, and must be provided at concessional financial terms (all loans must have a grant element of at least 25 percent). Technical cooperation and most expenditures for peacekeeping under UN mandates and assistance to refugees are generally included."
""
"Some ODA figures include other official aid. In the past, aid to the ""more advanced"" developing and eastern European countries on the DAC list of aid recipients was recorded separately as ""official aid."" The distinction between ODA and official aid was dropped in 2005. Countries for which the data reflect official aid include the more advanced countries of central and eastern Europe, the countries of the former Soviet Union, and certain advanced developing countries and territories. "
""
"Central government expenditures include the expenditures of all bodies that are agencies or instruments of a central government authority. In countries with strong subnational authorities, these figures can substantially understate total government expenditures, thus care should be taken in making national comparisons."
""
"Years Covered and Frequency of Update:"
"The World Bank publishes the World Development Indicators each April and makes periodic revisions throughout the year. As of 2009, data are available annually from 1990 to 2007."
""
"Methodology:"
"Aid as a percent of central government expenditure for each country is calculated by the World Bank. Ratios are computed using values in U.S. dollars converted at official exchange rates. The data on development assistance are compiled by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and published in its annual statistical report, Geographical Distribution of Financial Flows to Aid Recipients, and the DAC annual Development Cooperation Report. Data are available in electronic format to registered users at  http://www.oecd.org."
""
"Aid data do not distinguish among different types of aid (program, project, or food aid; emergency assistance; post-conflict peacekeeping assistance; or technical cooperation), each of which may have very different effects on the economy."
""
"Country data were obtained directly from the World Bank without manipulation. However, regional and income-based aggregates are computed by WRI. These aggregates may differ from those produced by the World Bank as WRI does not impute missing values in calculating aggregates. In addition, WRI uses different regional classifications and uses income aggregates that are based on the current, rather than data-year, income-group membership."
""
"Data Reliability:"
"Data were compiled, in part, from replies by DAC member countries to questionnaires issued by the DAC Secretariat. Because the data are based on donor country reports, they do not provide a complete picture of the resources received by developing and transition economies, for three reasons. First, flows from DAC members are only part of the aggregate resource flows to these economies. Second, the data that record contributions to multilateral institutions measure the flow of resources made available to those institutions by DAC members, not the flow of resources from those institutions to developing and transition economies. Third, because some of the countries and territories on the DAC recipient list are normally classified as high income, the reported flows may overstate the resources available to low- and middle-income economies. High income countries receive only a fraction of all development assistance, however."
""
"Care must be taken in drawing policy conclusions from this data. For foreign policy reasons, some countries have traditionally received large amounts of aid. Thus aid dependency ratios may reveal as much about a donor's interest as they do about a recipient's need. "
