Statistical release, 16 April 2025
International aid from official donors fell in 2024 by 7.1% in real terms compared to 2023, the first drop after five years of consecutive growth, according to preliminary data collected by the OECD.
The fall in official development assistance (ODA) was due to a reduction in contributions to international organisations, as well as a decrease in aid for Ukraine, lower levels of humanitarian aid and reduced spending on hosting refugees in donor countries.
ODA by member countries of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) amounted to USD 212.1 billion in 2024, representing 0.33% of DAC members’ combined GNI.
