How to read this number

Net official development assistance (ODA) received: grants and low-interest loans (minus repayments) given by governments and international organizations to promote the economic development and welfare of countries on the list of aid recipients, as a share of gross national income (GNI). Source: OECD Development Assistance Committee.

Only countries that receive aid are listed, so rich countries such as Japan are not ranked. A high share shows how much an economy depends on aid, not how much money arrives; small countries can reach very high shares, and some values are above 100 percent when the aid is larger than the country’s income.

  • Countries listed: 132 (of 193)
  • Data years: 2018–2023 (differs by country)
  • 128 countries use 2023 data
