Decision Use

Designed for governments, donors, fisheries agencies, development partners, and investors who need credible evidence for sector strategy, donor mapping, project design, and financing discussions.

Quick User Manual

This page is fully dynamic. Use the embedded dashboard to explore overall fisheries ODA flows, identify top donors and recipients, compare financing instruments, and review large funded projects across the 2010–2022 period.

What you'll see: an interactive fisheries development finance interface showing how official development assistance is allocated β€” by donor, recipient, aid type, finance type, project size, and delivery profile.

  • Start with the overview: read total fisheries commitments and disbursements across the full period.
  • Filter by donor: identify the institutions and countries financing fisheries support and compare relative scale.
  • Filter by recipient: see which countries and territories attract the largest fisheries ODA flows.
  • Use finance type: distinguish grants, loans, and equity to understand the structure of support.
  • Review aid types: examine whether funding is channelled through projects, budget support, technical assistance, scholarships, pooled funding, or other instruments.
  • Track commitments vs disbursements: assess delivery performance and pipeline gaps.
  • Use project rankings: identify top-funded fisheries operations and benchmark the overall funding landscape.

Fisheries ODA Aid Types Covered

This dashboard captures a wide range of OECD CRS aid modalities relevant to fisheries development finance, making it possible to distinguish not only how much is financed, but also how support is delivered.

Core Programme & Project Channels

  • Project-type interventions
  • Sector budget support
  • General budget support
  • Other technical assistance
  • Donor country personnel
  • Administrative costs not included elsewhere

Funding Mechanisms & Institutional Support

  • Basket funds / pooled funding
  • Contributions to multi-donor / single-entity funding mechanisms
  • Contributions to single-donor funding mechanisms and geographically earmarked windows
  • Contributions to specific-purpose programmes and funds managed by implementing partners
  • Core support to NGOs, private bodies, PPPs and research institutes

Human Capital & Capacity Building

  • Scholarships / training in donor country
  • Imputed student costs
  • Technical and institutional capacity support embedded across project operations

Why This Matters

  • Shows whether fisheries support is short-term, structural, or investment-led
  • Helps distinguish operational delivery channels from direct capital transfers
  • Improves donor mapping, programme design, and financing diagnostics

How this dashboard is built

01Data Source & Coverage

Built on the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS), this dashboard consolidates fisheries-related ODA activity data into a single premium intelligence interface for development finance analysis.

  • 61 donors including bilateral and multilateral contributors.
  • 165 recipients across the fisheries ODA landscape.
  • 2010–2022 coverage enabling 12+ years of trend analysis.
  • 3 finance types retained distinctly: grants, loans, and equity.
  • Aid modalities are preserved to show how fisheries funding is actually delivered across programmes and projects.
02Refresh Logic & Analytical Use

The dashboard is designed for ongoing fisheries development finance tracking as OECD CRS activity data are updated and integrated into the TW Policy Group model.

  • Commitments and disbursements are retained separately to show delivery performance.
  • Finance type structure supports interpretation of concessional versus investment-oriented support.
  • Recipient and donor filters allow country, institution, and regional benchmarking.
  • Project-level ranking logic helps identify flagship fisheries investments and high-concentration funding corridors.
03Interpretation Notes

This page is designed to support decision-grade fisheries finance analysis by preserving both funding size and delivery modality.

  • High commitments do not automatically imply high disbursement; always compare both.
  • Aid type matters: pooled funds, technical assistance, project interventions, and budget support serve different policy purposes.
  • Finance type matters: grants, loans, and equity imply different financial burdens and investment expectations.
  • Use donor, recipient, and project filters together for a fuller view of fisheries ODA concentration and direction.
