Official Development Assistance by country in absolute terms in 2009 (April 2010)

To qualify as official development assistance (ODA), a contribution must contain three elements:

  1. Be undertaken by the official sector (that is, a government or government agency);
  2. With promotion of economic development and welfare as the main objective;
  3. At concessional financial terms (that is, with favorable loan terms.)

Thus, by definition, ODA does not include private donations.

According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the countries giving the highest amounts of money (in absolute terms) are as follows:[1]

  1.  United States – $28.67 billion
  2.  France – $12.43 billion
