This comparative table is a subset of the geographical distribution of financial flow dataset which pertains to the sectoral distribution of bilateral ODA commitments. The distribution refers to the economic sector of destination (i.e. the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure whose development is intended to be fostered by the aid), rather than the type of goods or services provided. These are aggregates of individual projects notified under the Creditor Reporting System, supplemented by reporting on the sectoral distribution of technical co-operation, and on actual disbursement of food and emergency aid.
