Net official flows from UN agencies, FAO (current US$)

This indicator reflects the financial interactions facilitated by United Nations agencies, focusing specifically on the net flow of resources to recipient countries within the current context of U.S. dollars. It encompasses the total disbursements, including Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Other Official Flows (OOF), showcasing the financial commitment from UN bodies towards fostering economic growth and social welfare. ODA primarily consists of concessional loans and grants aimed at less developed regions, while OOF includes transactions with non-development motivations, such as export credits. The comprehensiveness of this metric underlines the pivotal role that agencies like FAO and UNICEF play in addressing global challenges, emphasizing their contributions beyond traditional aid, such as investment in sustainable development and humanitarian efforts.
