This annual publication shows how official UK financial resources for international development are spent. Expenditure is broken down by destination country or organisation, type of assistance and purpose. The majority of the data are produced on a cash basis in line with international reporting standards. They are therefore not directly comparable with those reported in DFID’s Resource Accounts, although a reconciliation is provided in the Glossary.
The report is structured as follows:
Section 1 provides background information for users of the report, describes what counts as development assistance or aid expenditure and describes the key differences between the data in this report and previously published data.
Section 2 explains key definitions used in the report, such as the difference between the DFID Programme, Gross Public Expenditure on Development (GPEX) and UK Official Development Assistance (ODA).
Section 3 provides a summary of the level of GPEX and more detail of spend by aid type. Data for both DFID and the UK as a whole are presented. Section 3 also provides a summary of ODA levels for the UK and makes some international comparisons. Sections 4 and 5 focus on the destination of UK aid. GPEX and ODA are broken down by recipient country and the UK’s multilateral expenditure by institutions (Section 4). Section 5 shows a breakdown by sector.
Annex 1 provides recipient country information (such as income status, HIPC status, population, etc). Annex 2 contains a glossary of terms used in this report. Annex 3 explains the different types of UK debt relief and Annex 4 details the data sources used to produce Statistics on International Development (SID).
