Most Foreign Aid Spend
Understand most foreign aid spend: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Aid spending depends on the accounting rules and period. A donor's total can include items such as eligible domestic refugee costs as well as money spent abroad. Gross disbursements, net flows and grant-equivalent measures answer different questions. A share of national income provides another perspective on effort beyond the absolute amount.
