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

This indicator measures the net disbursements of financial assistance provided by various UN agencies, encompassing both Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Other Official Flows (OOF). It reflects the total contributions made by the UN to promote economic stability, welfare, and development in recipient countries, after accounting for repayments on prior loans. ODA includes loans with favorable terms and grants aimed specifically at enhancing the economic conditions for countries on the DAC list, while OOF highlights transactions that may not primarily focus on development but still represent significant financial flow from official channels. This comprehensive assessment allows for a nuanced understanding of how UN agencies support countries in need, offering insights into the effectiveness and focus of international aid efforts in a constantly evolving global landscape.
