OECD Better policies for better lives

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives. We draw on more than 60 years of experience and insights to shape policies that foster prosperity and opportunity, underpinned by equality and well-being. We work closely with policy makers, stakeholders and citizens to establish evidence-based in

ternational standards and to find solutions to social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and strengthening policies to fight climate change to bolstering education and fighting international tax evasion, the OECD is a unique forum and knowledge hub for data, analysis and best practices in public policy. Our core aim is to set international standards and support their implementation – and help countries forge a path towards stronger, fairer and cleaner societies.

Mobilising private finance (unlocking and channelling commercial money towards sustainable development objectives in developing countries) is a growing priority for development co-operation providers.

But while mobilisation figures are widely reported, much less attention is paid to where that finance actually goes.

The 2026 Development Co-operation Profiles help answer that question by showing which countries and income groups benefit from mobilised private finance.

Looking at the recipient perspective reveals important differences:

➡️ Lower middle-income countries received the largest share of mobilised private finance in 2024, accounting for 35% of the total

➡️ Some providers directed a larger share of mobilised private finance towards least developed countries (LDCs)

➡️ Others focused more strongly on lower middle-income countries

Overall, the data suggest that mobilised private finance tends to be concentrated in countries with larger markets, projects that are more attractive to investors and clearer investment opportunities.

By looking beyond mobilisation volumes, the Profiles help users build a more complete picture of how private finance contributes to sustainable development and who benefits from these investments.

15-year-olds took the test. Now it’s your turn.

The OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment ( ) is the world’s largest educational survey of 15-year-old students.

Last time around, it showed that maths, reading and science scores dropped significantly worldwide.

The results from the latest assessment held in 2025 are coming out this September. Try some questions adapted from PISA to see how you compare!

Official development assistance (ODA), which is government aid that promotes and specifically targets the economic development and welfare of developing countries, remains a core component of development co-operation, but it is one part of a broader financing landscape. Commercial money channelled towards sustainable development objectives is increasingly shaping private flows and investment.

The 2026 Development Co-operation Profiles introduce a new feature that helps users situate and compare ODA in partner countries’ wider finance landscape.

You can use the platform to:

➡️ Compare total flows across providers and over time

➡️ Explore how ODA, private flows and other sources contribute to development finance

➡️ Explore the evolution of ODA, private flows and other financing components by provider

➡️ Understand what is driving changes in financing patterns

Reproductive health and infectious disease control face the largest projected cuts in official development assistance (ODA).

ODA is financial support from governments promoting the economic development and welfare of developing countries.

projections show that some of the most critical areas of health are expected to experience the sharpest reductions in bilateral ODA between 2024 and 2026.

➡️ Population and reproductive health, including HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted disease control, is projected to face the largest reduction in funding by volume, with cuts more than ten times larger than the next most-affected health area.

➡️ Funding for the control of malaria and tuberculosis is projected to decline by 60% and 57% respectively, the largest percentage reductions among health programmes.

As outbreaks of infectious diseases become more frequent and widespread, these reductions raise concerns about countries' ability to prevent, detect and respond to future health crises. The cuts to reproductive health programmes are also likely to have a disproportionate impact on women.

The OECD's International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study directly measured the developmental outcomes of over 23,000 children, providing one of the most comprehensive understandings of early learning and development internationally.

Key findings show:

➡️ Reading daily to children has the highest association with positive learning outcomes in early literacy and numeracy.

➡️ Girls often outperform boys in all the dimensions of early learning and development measured.

➡️ Children who perform well in one developmental area tend to do well across the board.

As development co-operation budgets come under pressure and priorities evolve, understanding who is funding development, where resources are going and how support is delivered has become more important than ever.

Covering 34 Development Assistance Committee (DAC) members and associates, 28 other official providers and 23 private foundations, the Development Co-operation Profiles 2026 provide comparable data and analysis on development co-operation policies, financing and delivery across 85 providers.

Bilateral official development assistance (ODA) for health is projected to fall to its lowest level in almost two decades.

ODA is financial support from governments promoting the economic development and welfare of developing countries.

projections show that bilateral ODA for health could decline by 29-46% between 2024 and 2026, equivalent to a reduction of USD 5-8 billion. This would bring support back to levels not seen since 2008.

The decline follows the sharp increase in health ODA during the COVID-19 pandemic. By 2026, funding is projected to be 63% below its 2022 peak, with further reductions expected beyond 2026 as major providers continue to implement multi-year cuts.

Health was the third-largest sector for bilateral ODA in 2024, receiving USD 17.6 billion, after humanitarian aid and support to government and civil society. The scale of the projected reductions could therefore have significant implications for countries that rely on external financing to support their health systems.

Global health security could be weakened by projected cuts in official development assistance (ODA) for health.

ODA is financial support from governments promoting the economic development and welfare of developing countries.

projections show that bilateral ODA for health could fall to its lowest level in almost two decades.

As funding declines, support for pandemic preparedness, prevention and response (PPR) is also at risk, raising concerns about recipient countries' ability to respond to future health crises.

➡️ Almost 80% of PPR financing in low-income countries comes from external sources, including ODA.

➡️ Spending on pandemic PPR is more than 30 times lower per capita in low-income countries than in advanced economies.

➡️ Countries already responding to disease outbreaks are also projected to face substantial reductions in health ODA.

Between 2024 and 2026, bilateral health ODA could fall by 53.5% in Uganda and 46.6% in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where Ebola outbreaks are ongoing.

Pandemic preparedness is a global public good.

As outbreaks of infectious diseases become more frequent and widespread, reduced investment in preparedness and response could increase health risks well beyond the countries directly affected.

Robust integrity systems help governments identify corruption risks more effectively, guide their prevention efforts and support the responsible use of public resources.

countries meet 63% of criteria on anti-corruption and integrity regulations, but only 44% on implementation – leaving a 19 percentage-point implementation gap that shows that regulations could be better implemented.

The Anti-Corruption and Integrity Outlook 2026 reviews 62 countries’ resilience to corruption risks.
