Indicator metadata and score calculation

Definition:	Official development assistance as percent of GNI. Official development assistance (ODA) is defined as government aid designed to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries, excluding loans and grants for military purposes. Aid includes grants, soft loans and the provision of technical assistance. Prior to 2018, the ODA flows basis methodology covered loans expressed on a cash basis, meaning their full face value was included, then repayments were subtracted as they came in. From 2018, the ODA grant-equivalent methodology is used whereby only the grant portion of the loan, i.e. the amount given by lending below market rates, counts as ODA.
