Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) is reported by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development\u2019s Development Assistance Committee (OECD DAC) through its donor states as a proportion of Gross National Income (GNI). DFID calculates ODA disbursements to measure its stated goal of achieving 0.7% during 2013 and in order that international comparisons can be made with other DAC donor states.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The average ODA to GNI ratio for 2013 for all DAC donor states is 0.397%. The UK GNI for 2013 (using the ESA95 unadjusted for (Eurostat) reservations methodology) was £1,622,166m. If the average percentage were applied, the UK contribution would be £6,437m.<\/p>
