This indicator represents the
cumulative net financial contributions made by various United Nations agencies to recipient countries, reflecting both the humanitarian and development-focused objectives of these organizations. It encompasses the
overall disbursements of Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Other Official Flows (OOF), taking into account gross amounts allocated minus repayments on earlier loans. While ODA typically includes concessional loans and grants aimed at fostering economic growth and welfare in developing regions, OOF consists of transactions with a primary objective beyond development, usually lacking the substantial grant element that characterizes ODA. This metric provides critical insights into international financial support dynamics,
highlighting the balance between developmental aid and other fiscal engagements in real-time U.S. dollar terms, essential for understanding the broader impact on socio-economic initiatives worldwide.
