Data field definitions
Consult the Data field definitions included in the various data sets.
Historical project data set
The below Historical project data set (HPDS) provide international assistance statistics in database-friendly formats. The HPDS don’t replace official reports. They do, however, allow for further breakdown and analysis of international assistance expenditures, thus providing a more granular view of international assistance data than the Statistical Report on International Assistance, with a few differences outlined below:
- since fiscal year 2016 to 2017, the datasets cover all of Canada’s international assistance, as presented in the Statistical Report on International Assistance. Before this fiscal year, the data only includes assistance expenditures related to the former CIDA and, as of 2013 to 2014, the former DFAIT;
- the method used to estimate the country or region and sector allocation for certain types of assistance (for example, long-term institutional support to multilateral organizations) differs from the one used in the Statistical Report on International Assistance and development assistance statistics (refer to notes 1 and 2 in the Data field definitions). As a result, figures may differ before fiscal year 2016 to 2017;
- the data contained in the Preliminary file only only includes figures available at the time of upload and will change as new information becomes available. For example, the breakdown of multilateral assistance by country and sector is usually only available for the final publication of the data in March.
Data by country spending
Data sets A and B below contain data on Canada's assistance disbursements by country, by fiscal year up to 2016-2017. Since 2017-2018, this data has been included in the historical project data files above.
The figures provided in both data sets are identical. Data set A is structured for easier import into statistical database programs. It is in a stacked format and to be used in conjunction with the two files titled "Recipients" and "Sources" for better understanding of the data. Data set B is presented in a sample table.
