Development relevanceThe OECD’s aid statistics are completely transparent and publicly available to users. They seek to do the following: 1) Inform taxpayers in OECD members and other countries about what is being spent on aid overseas which enables the public to see what governments are doing with their money, 2) Allow users to understand the key characteristics of ODA to help inform the policies and programs of development co-operation providers in low- and middle-income countries, 3) Provides a comprehensive perspective on what ODA is doing worldwide, 4) Hold governments accountable for their international commitments and legal obligations on where and how to spend their aid to maximize results or benefit the neediest countries, 5) Showcase the contributions of providers outside of the members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) where many bilateral providers and multilateral agencies outside of the DAC have been reporting their statistics to the OECD on a voluntary basis, and 6) improve OECD’s ability to provide a comprehensive perspective on development finance flows to partner countries.
