Donor concentration and cuts E61
Computed by the app: OECD CRS gross disbursements in this scope, 2024 (card E28), all official donors USD 2,510.7m; donors' total net ODA from OECD DAC1 (card E38).
donor's total aid fell more than 10% in the latest provisional year
- 30% Largest donor's share
- 74% Three largest donors' share
- 24% Share from donors whose total aid fell more than 10% (2024→2025) (USD 591.4 m)
- 12% Rough estimate for 2025, not a forecast: less in this scope if those cuts fell evenly (USD 296.1 m)
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.

OECD Climate-related development finance, recipient perspective, 2022–2024: commitments in current USD millions; retrieved 2026-10-13. Commitments, not disbursements. 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. Zambia: USD 541.2m in 2022 → USD 1,079.2m in 2024 (+99%); peak USD 1,079.2m in 2024.

Computed by the app: OECD CRS gross disbursements in this scope, 2024 (card E28), all official donors USD 2,510.7m; donors' total net ODA from OECD DAC1 (card E38). 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.

Donor: Germany. Channel of delivery: Public corporations (donor govt.). Recipient: Zambia. Purpose: Education and training in water supply and sanitation; Energy education/training; Vocational training. Disbursed USD 3.0m in 2023 to 2024. Description (donor-reported): ContextZambia has a young population. At the same time, youth unemployment is very high, whereby young women are affected more than young men. Around 375,000 people enter the labour market every year, most without any adequate training. Companies complain about difficulties in finding well-qualified workers.Technical training programmes are rarely geared to the needs of the labour market and modern infrastructure. Graduates often lack the skills needed in the areas of water, sanitation, and solar energy to meet companies' practical requirements. A lot of time and resources are then needed to give employees further training.ObjectiveState-run vocational schools in Zambia increasingly offer labour market-oriented education and training in water and energy management in cooperation with companies.Better trained and, increasingly, female specialists findgood jobs and support a more effective

Out-of-school rates count children of official school age who are not enrolled; completion rates count young people a few years above the final grade's age who finished that level; proficiency shares come from regional and international learning assessments (such as PASEC or PIRLS) taken in the year shown, so they are older and not comparable across assessment types. Years differ by measure: check the year before comparing.

Percentages compare with the 1989-2018 average for the same period. Recent periods use preliminary estimates that are replaced by final data about a month later. 'Dry period' marks regions whose average for the period is under 30 mm, where a percentage says little. Rainfall is one input to harvests and water supply, not a drought declaration.
