The DAC Survey on Forward Spending Plans is the only regular process that brings together most bilateral and multilateral aid spending plans up to 3 years ahead at the global level. The Survey traces country programmable aid (CPA), a core subset of gross bilateral ODA and multilateral outflows essential for the support of development goals. Only the donors that have agreed to make their forward spending plans publicly available are included in the table. These figures represent donors' future plans of CPA as reported to the OECD-DAC Surveys on Donors' Forward Spending Plans. They are donors’ current indicative planning figures, and do not represent firm commitments, but rather donors’ best estimates of future aid efforts. The figures can include both future spending of already committed, on-going aid projects and programmes, as well as estimates of future total country budget envelopes over the next three years. The total figures presented for each donor should therefore be taken as indicative and not misconstrued as obligations of any sort.

2015-2019
Amounts are expressed in USD millions (2015 constant prices, i.e. at base year prices excluding the effect of exchange rate changes and inflation) and in millions of local currency (current prices) as in donors submissions to the survey.
All data can also be downloaded in Excel and text format at http://www.oecd.org/dac/aidoutlook. This also includes additional activity level data for a few donors.
CPA is the proportion of aid that is subjected to multi-year programming at country level, and hence represent a subset of ODA outflows. It takes as a starting point data on gross ODA disbursements by recipient but excludes spending which is: (1) inherently unpredictable (humanitarian aid and debt relief); or (2) entails no flows to the recipient country (administration costs, student costs, development awareness and research and refugee spending in donor countries); or (3) is usually not discussed between the main donor agency and recipient governments (food aid, aid from local governments, core funding to NGOs, aid through secondary agencies, ODA equity investments and aid which is not allocable by country). (4) CPA does not net out loan repayments, as these are not usually factored into aid allocation decisions. CPA is therefore a gross concept. For more information on CPA, see http://www.oecd.org/dac/cpa.
The figures represent donors’ current indicative planning figures, and can include both future spending of already committed, on-going aid projects and programmes, as well as estimates of future total country budget envelopes over the next three years. For some donors, the future spending plans do not cover total country budget envelopes, but only on-going and planned aid projects and programmes. In addition, the number of years into the future a donor can plan vary across donors. Some donors can provide indicative forward spending plans for the next three years while others are only able provide it for the coming year. These limitations to the data depend on donors' budgetary and programming frameworks and cycles.
