This publication provides detailed information on individual commitments, i.e. intended disbursements, of Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Official Aid (OA) to Asian countries for the years 2001 and 2002. This yearly publication records the commitments reported by members of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and by multilateral institutions to the Creditor Reporting System (CRS). Data presented are unique, comparable and consistent with definitions and methodologies of the DAC statistics.

The information is designed for use by development agencies and institutions involved in country and sector programming and analysis. For each developing country, activities are ordered by commitment year and sector, and within each sector, by donor.

DAC STATISTICS: ALSO AVAILABLE ON INTERNET AND ON CD-ROM

The data are taken from the CRS database which is regularly updated and contains records from 1973 onwards. Data are available on the International Development Statistics Online on the DAC website at the following address: www.oecd.org/dac/stats, and on the yearly CD-ROM International Development Statistics. Selected development databases are also available on line via www.SourceOECD.org.
