About this source: The US government's own record of its foreign assistance: every obligation and payment by country, sector, agency and implementing partner, published much sooner than the OECD's data.

Bilateral activities count at full value when climate is a principal or significant objective (OECD Rio markers), so the totals are an upper bound; multilateral development banks report only each project's climate component. The 'principal objective or climate component only' row is the stricter measure. Adaptation and mitigation overlap where an activity targets both, so they do not add up to the total.

Computed by the app from the cards named in the last column. Each figure is taken from the named card; changes are computed from the card's own figures.

Computed by the app: OCHA FTS appeal by cluster 2025 (card E37) against people in need in the 2025 and 2024 Humanitarian Needs Overviews (OCHA via the HDX Humanitarian API, card E53). Critically underfunded: less than 10% of the cluster's appeal funded. Severely underfunded: 10% to less than 25%. Underfunded: 25% to less than 50%. Half funded or more: 50% or more; a gap remains until 100%. Gap widening (added to the band): less than 50% funded and people in need up 5% or more on the previous year's overview. There is no agreed threshold; these bands follow common usage, and the comparison with the whole appeal shows how the cluster fares against the rest of the response, as the UN's CERF does when it compares crises. Funded per person in need: funding received for the cluster divided by its people in need, the same year. People in need overlap between clusters, so they do not add up to the cross-sector figure. Lowest coverage first. The eight largest clusters by requirement are shown.

Computed by the app: OECD CRS gross disbursements in this scope, 2024 (card E28), all official donors USD 2,075.6m; donors' total net ODA from OECD DAC1 (card E42). Exposed: a donor whose total aid fell more than 10% in the OECD's provisional latest year. Rough estimate method: each donor's 2024 aid in this scope, reduced by the same percentage as its total aid fell from 2024 to 2025 in the OECD's provisional figures, summed over donors that fell more than 10%; donors that did not cut count as unchanged. It assumes each donor cut this country as much as its overall aid; in practice donors protect some countries and cut others harder. The OECD's country figures for 2025 will replace it, usually about a year after the year ends. Only the donors listed on the OECD card are assessed; multilateral donors are not in the OECD's donor totals.

Admin levels are counted separately and can overlap; they must not be added together. Displayed geography includes all reported sectors; where geographic codes are absent, displayed counts use names qualified by their parent area. Ranking uses codes only, at the finest available level in selected sectors for that country. Only sectors with a supported DAC-to-cluster mapping contribute to sector reach. Missing comparable coded reach is not zero presence or capacity.
