ODA by aid type
- Bilateral core contributions
- Multilateral ODA
- Project-type intervention
- Experts and other technical assistance
- Others(Administartive costs, budget support, etc.)
Most ODA is biateral, meaning that its state donor is identifiable at the point of delivery to intended beneficiaries. Multilateral ODA, on the other hand, is aid given into a pool administered by some intermediate organisation, so that the delivered aid is no longer attributable to a particular original state donor.
