Most OECD countries fail to reach the UN’s target for aid to the poorest countries

A bar chart displays the percentage of national income that various developed countries allocated as Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the least developed nations in 2022, compared to a target of at least 0.15%. The bar for Luxembourg shows the highest percentage at 0.46%, followed by Sweden at 0.28% and Norway at 0.2%. Other countries listed include Iceland and Denmark at 0.14%, Belgium at 0.13%, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Japan all at 0.12%, each followed by Germany, France, and Ireland at 0.11%. Canada provides 0.1%, while the United States and the United Kingdom each contribute 0.08%. Austria gives 0.07%, Slovenia and South Korea both provide 0.06%, and Italy is at the lowest at 0.05%.

Data source: OECD (2024). The note indicates that it represents the 20 OECD nations providing the most aid, percentage-wise, to the poorest nations.
