List of development aid country donors

This is a list of countries by spending on development aid. The list is based on official development assistance (ODA) figures published by the OECD for countries that are members of its Development Assistance Committee (DAC). Non-DAC members included in the OECD's publishing are listed separately.

The largest donor countries in 2015 were the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and France. Sweden made the largest contribution as a percentage of gross national income (GNI) at 1.40% and the United Nations’ ODA target of 0.7% of GNI was also exceeded by the UAE, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.[1]

Net official development assistance by country in 2015

To qualify as official development assistance, a contribution must contain three elements:

  1. Be undertaken by the official sector (that is, a government or government agency);
  2. With promotion of economic development and welfare as the main objective;
  3. At concessional financial terms (that is, with favorable loan terms.)

Thus, by definition, ODA does not include private donations.

The OECD's Development Assistance Committee members' total budget reached 132 billion dollars in 2015 and was contributed by the following countries:[1]

  1.  United States – $31.08 billion
