2つの危機下の世界のODA^1）

抄録

This paper analyses the global trend of Official Development Assistance (ODA) of the members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC). The total ODA volume of the DAC members in 2022 was 204 billion US Dollars, a record high, and was increased by 13.6% compared to 2021. The increase was brought about by a rapid increase in in-donor refugee costs (IDRC) in European and North American countries. Excluding IDRC, ODA was only increased by 4.6%. With the improved situation of the pandemic, the share of COVID-19-related aid was down to 5.5% in 2022 from around 10% in 2020 and 2021. A controversial issue in COVID-19-related aid was counting excess vaccine donations as ODA. A lesson that could be drawn from the aid trends under the multiple crises is that more attention should be paid to the possible tension between long-term developmental and short-term humanitarian objectives.
