Ten years ago the vast majority of official development assistance came from about 15 rich industrialised countries that are members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), a 50-year-old club of the aid establishment. Even today, America remains the largest single donor, dishing out $31 billion in 2010. But second on the list, if reports monitored by New York University's Wagner School are to be believed, would be China, which gave away $25 billion in 2007. If India gives around $2 billion a year, it would rank with Australia or Belgium. According to a new report by a non-governmental organisation called Global Humanitarian Assistance, aid (conservatively defined) from non-DAC countries rose by 143% in 2005-08, to $11.2 billion, before falling during the financial crisis. Aid from the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) more than doubled. The establishment donors' aid monopoly is finished. Over the past decade China has evolved from a net recipient to net donor. The new donors stress that their aid is different from that provided by the West. Most new donors give priority to their neighbours. A lot of new aid is also given partly in support of commercial interests.
