Organization For Earthquake

General term for the help provided by developed nations to the developing nations. More specifically, aid refers to the net flow of official development assistance provided by governments, international agencies, and public institutions of the industrialized countries. But the term is also used to encompass help (both material and technical) provided by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and voluntary agencies to countries and people in need, particularly for disaster or emergency relief. The overall portfolio of assistance of a donor, or the range of aid it provides to a particular country, is often referred to as its aid programme.

Aid & Aid Programmes Official development assistance (ODA) is an

internationally agreed term for aid to developing countries as reported to the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), established in 1961, which aims to improve the levels and effectiveness of such aid. The basic aim of ODA is to assist recipient countries to improve their standard of living, through the promotion of economic development and welfare. It mainly comprises loans or grants (if a loan, comprising at least a 25 per cent grant element), but also includes the value and costs of providing other forms of assistance, consultancy services, technical skills, and goods and materials.
