Key Findings
- •Per-capita aid varies dramatically across countries, often highest in small island states and fragile/conflict-affected states.
- •Many high-income economies record near-zero net ODA received per person, reflecting donor rather than recipient status.
- •Per-capita normalization reveals aid dependence patterns that total-dollar comparisons can hide.
- •Annual ODA can be volatile, so multi-year averages are often more informative for trend analysis.

About This Statistic
Net official development assistance (ODA) received per capita measures how much external concessional aid a country receives, on average, for each resident in a given year. It includes grants and soft loans from official donors (bilateral and multilateral) that meet the OECD DAC definition of ODA, net of principal repayments.
Per-capita ODA can highlight small states, fragile states, and countries facing shocks where even moderate total aid translates into very high “aid per person.” It is also useful for comparing aid dependence across countries of very different population sizes, though it does not indicate how effectively aid is used or how it is distributed within a country.
