The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regularly analyses the economic status of developing countries and publishes the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list, a list of countries and territories eligible to receive Official Development Assistance (ODA). The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) as defined by the United Nations are in the first column; the other columns show all other ODA recipients according to their Gross National Income (GNI) per capita as reported by the World Bank. The next review of the DAC List will take place in 2020.

To discuss the Due Diligence process at Warwick, please contact your Research and Impact Services team. UKRI have produced guidance on due diligence for research organisations.
