Developers can find good datasets here. What other data should we be looking at? Add a dataset to the Data Hub and tag it with ‘DDC’, or else add a comment below.
Useful datasets can be found in the following categories on the Data Hub:
DDC tag
International Develoment Group
Aid and Development Group
International Budget Partnership Group (budgets for lots of countries, particularly developing countries, but often in PDF)
A large volume of statistical data on aid flows is available on our site at http://stats.oecd.org/qwids/. The data are detailed and somewhat complex – to help you find your way, you might wish to hit the “About” and “Demo” buttons before you start.
Our database can only answer questions on aid and other flows. For data on developing countries’ own spending and indicators, see the World Bank sites mentioned by other posters here and especially the World Development Indicators site (http://data.worldbank.org/data-catalog/world-development-indicators). For data on education indicators, see the UNESCO site here: http://www.uis.unesco.org/Pages/default.aspx.
Concerning trends in aid to agriculture, see our data and commentary here (http://www.oecd.org/dac/aidstatistics/aidtoagricultureandruraldevelopment.htm). For other sectoral studies, the portal here: http://www.oecd.org/dac/aidstatistics/analysesofaidfromnumberstomeaningwhatstoriesdothedatatellus.htm.
If you have questions on aid flows, and cannot find the answer in our database or elsewhere, feel free to write to us at .
