The “Principled Aid Index” was produced by ODI, a development thinktank, and released on 21 March 2019.

The study compared the 29 nations that are members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee “by how they use their official development assistance to pursue their long-term national interest in a safer, sustainable and more prosperous world,” according to ODI.

The DAC sets rich world donor standards for sustainable development aid.
