The European Commission was the multilateral development agency that received the highest amount of net official development assistance (ODA) in 2022 from official donors, the amount reaching 16.6 billion U.S. dollars. The International Development Association was given the second highest sum with less than half of that. The high sum allocated to other multilateral agencies underlines the importance of smaller development agencies.
The source adds the following information: 'Official development assistance (ODA) is defined as government aid designed to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries. Loans and credits for military purposes are excluded. Aid may be provided bilaterally, from donor to recipient, or channeled through a multilateral development agency such as the United Nations or the World Bank. Aid includes grants, "soft" loans and the provision of technical assistance. The OECD maintains a list of developing countries and territories; only aid to these countries counts as ODA.'
Net ODA is the amount received after loan repayments are subtracted.
