How this figure is calculated
Grants, excluding technical cooperation (BoP, current US$) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Grants, excluding technical cooperation (BoP, current US$) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Grants, excluding technical cooperation DAC2A: Aid (ODA) disbursements to countries and regions, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
