Indicator description

Official development assistance (ODA) is development aid provided by the official sector of donor countries to promote economic development and welfare in developing countries. The indicator presents net official development assistance received by Bosnia and Herzegovina as a share of its gross national income (GNI). Net assistance received is calculated after accounting for relevant repayments, and the share is expressed relative to GNI. The list of countries and territories eligible to receive ODA is established by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC).
Data source and methodology

In this national presentation, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a recipient of official development assistance rather than a donor. The national indicator measures net ODA received as a percentage of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s GNI. In contrast, the EU SDG indicator 17.10 measures official development assistance provided by EU Member States, as well as Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, relative to their GNI. Due to their different scopes, the two data series are not directly comparable.
Coverage and comparability

The value for Bosnia and Herzegovina decreased from 2.6% in 2016 to 1.1% in 2023, with occasional increases during the period. Data are published annually, and the source of the series is the World Bank’s World Development Indicators database. International data on official development assistance are based on OECD/DAC records. As no specific national target has been established for this indicator, changes are described without assigning a progress status.
National context and objectives

No specific numerical target has been established for this indicator for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The target of allocating 0.7% of GNI to official development assistance applies to donor countries, not to recipient countries.
Indicator description

Official development assistance (ODA) includes grants, loans and equity investments provided by the official sector to promote economic development and welfare in developing countries. The indicator measures official development assistance as a percentage of gross national income (GNI). It covers assistance provided by EU Member States and EU institutions. The data are based on records from the OECD Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC) and the European Commission.
Data source and methodology

The indicator monitors the contribution of the EU and its Member States to financing sustainable development in developing countries under Sustainable Development Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals. The long-standing international commitment is to provide 0.7% of GNI as official development assistance. The 2017 European Consensus on Development also emphasises allocating a substantial share of assistance to least developed countries, with a short-term range of 0.15–0.20% of GNI and a target of 0.20% by 2030.
Coverage and comparability

Data are reported annually as a percentage of gross national income. The coverage includes official development assistance provided by EU Member States and the relevant contribution of EU institutions. The data are based on OECD/DAC international records, with the involvement of the European Commission. The indicator is updated annually. Comparisons over time should take account of the methodological change introduced in 2018, when the grant-equivalent method was introduced for concessional loans.
EU context and objectives

The long-term target is to provide 0.7% of gross national income as official development assistance. The European Consensus on Development also emphasises allocating 0.15–0.20% of GNI to least developed countries in the short term, with a target of 0.20% by 2030.
