3.5 DISBURSEMENTS BY SECTOR

42. Over the entire period from 1992 to 2005, Health sector has received the largest share of development cooperation resources (12.7 percent), followed by Transport/Infrastructure sector (12.4 percent), Area/Rural Development (12.2 percent), Education/Human Resource Development (10.8 percent), Development Administration (10.1 percent), and. Economic Management (8.4 percent). Details on disbursements for other sectors are summarized in Table 10, and data on disbursements by sector for each year from 1992 to 2005 is presented as Annex V.

43. The data reported by development cooperation partners for the last five years, 2001-2005, show significant changes from year to year in the share of total ODA disbursed in some sectors (Table 11). However, it is not clear whether these changes are attributable to an increase in the number of cases where the data on a sector has not been reported by development cooperation partners or whether these are real changes. In 2002, for 1.9 percent of the total ODA that has been reported to have been disbursed, the sector of program/project activity was not identified. This proportion increased to 7.9 percent of total ODA reported to have been disbursed in 2003.
