How much Official Development Assistance (ODA) goes to basic education?
Since the World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal, in 2000, total aid commitments to education increased by 58% from US$7.6 billion in 2000 to US$12 billion in 2004 (in constant 2007 prices). However, this significant increase was followed by a decrease in 2005 (US$9.9 billion). Aid commitment started to increase again in 2006 but stagnated around US$12 billion between 2006 and 2007 Aid commitments to basic education amounted to US$4.3 billion in 2007. In 2007 low-income countries received over 60% of the total aid donors committed to basic education (US$2.6 billion).
