Net ODA received (% of GNI)

Net official development assistance (ODA) represents a key metric that quantifies the financial support received by developing nations from various official sources, including DAC member states, multilateral organizations, and other non-DAC entities. This assistance, which encompasses concessional loans—where repayments are less than would typically be expected—and outright grants, aims to foster economic development and improve living standards in recipient countries. The calculation of this indicator as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) provides insight into the magnitude of external funding relative to a nation’s economic capacity, thus highlighting both dependence on foreign aid and the potential for sustainable growth. By assessing this percentage, stakeholders can better understand the effectiveness and scale of international support aimed at alleviating poverty and promoting equity on a global scale. Source:
