70 MACROECONOMIC, TRADE, AND AID DEVELOPMENTS GLOBAL MONITORING REPORT 2013<br />
from the economic crisis (OECD 2012b). At<br />
Gleneagles, the G-8 donors also envisaged an<br />
increase in total ODA to Africa of $25 billion<br />
in 2004 prices and exchange rates. In current<br />
prices and exchange rates, that translates<br />
into an increase of an estimated $29 billion<br />
in 2010. Yet estimates show that Africa only<br />
received an additional $11.8 billion in 2010.<br />
Given the decline in ODA in 2011 and 2012,<br />
it is clear that this situation has not improved.<br />
Regional aid<br />
Although ODA disbursements were lower in<br />
2011 than in 2010, the trend in regional ODA<br />
remained stable. Aid is mainly concentrated<br />
in Sub-Saharan Africa, which received 43<br />
percent of net ODA disbursements in 2011,<br />
South Asia (21 percent), and the Middle East<br />
and North Africa (11 percent) (figure 1.23).<br />
While Sub-Saharan Africa still received<br />
most of the aid, this region suffered a further<br />
decrease in 2012, with flows of $26.2 billion,<br />
or a decline of 7.9 percent in real terms compared<br />
with 2011. Europe and Central Asia<br />
also saw a fall in net bilateral ODA flows of<br />
17 percent in real terms from 2010; between<br />
2010 and 2011, the decline was around 6<br />

percent as the region made strong gains<br />
toward poverty alleviation. Latin America<br />
sustained a decrease of 3 percent in 2011,<br />
while South Asia registered a shortfall of 2<br />
percent. The only region with an increase in<br />
net ODA disbursements was the Middle East<br />
and North Africa, with the revolutions in this<br />
region triggering more aid.<br />

Low-income countries received 3 percent<br />

Middle-income countries, on the other hand,<br />

For lower-middle-income countries, net ODA<br />
disbursements decreased 8.9 percent from<br />
2010, to $5.7 billion (figure 1.24).<br />
When all developing countries are considered,<br />
ODA disbursements per capita have<br />
increased for countries with no more than<br />
two of the MDGs achieved (figure 1.25).<br />
Even though aid fell in 2011, the flows<br />
are still being directed to those countries<br />
lagging the most (that is, the countries<br />
furthest from achieving the MDGs). For<br />
