We show the data both in the new reporting method of grant equivalents and the old one of net amounts, for a longer-term view.
- By official and private donors
- By sector
- By grants and loans
- By aid for emergencies and longer-term development
- By income group
PEPFAR, which has saved millions of lives from HIV and AIDS.
GAVI, which has vaccinated hundreds of millions of children.
The Carter Center, which has led the near eradication of guinea worm disease.
Special credit goes to my colleagues, in particular Pablo Arriagada for his excellent data work.
