Country Programmable Aid (CPA) is official development assistance (ODA) subject to multi-year planning at the country or regional level and over which partner countries could have significant say.
CPA is calculated by subtracting the following categories of aid from the total of gross bilateral ODA:
- debt relief,
- humanitarian aid,
- administrative costs not included elsewhere,
- scholarships/training in donor countries,
- imputed student costs,
- promotion of development awareness,
- refugees in donor country,
- core support to NGOs,
- equity investments, and
- other unallocated spending.
CPA is derived from the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS), an aid activity database. Disaggregated data by activity level provides an insight into how and to whom donors are providing CPA.
This indicator is measured in USD constant prices, using 2022 as the base year.
