List of development aid country donors - wikipedia List of development aid country donors This is a list of countries by spending on development aid. The list is based on official development assistance ( ODA ) figures published by the OECD for countries that are members of its Development Assistance Committee ( DAC ), which includes the European Union. Non-DAC members included in the OECD 's publishing are listed separately. Sweden made the largest contribution as a percentage of gross national income ( GNI ) at 1.40 % and the United Nations ' ODA target of 0.7 % of GNI was also exceeded by the UAE, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The European Union accumulated a higher portion of GDP as a form of foreign aid than any other economic union. The largest donor countries in 2015 were the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and France, though China, acting outside the DAC apparatus, made higher donations overall than any individual country, with more than double the GNI percentage of the United States.
