Net receipts of ODA by Commonwealth countries in 1973 from the four major Commonwealth donors are shown in Table 15. It would appear that a large number of Commonwealth countries, particularly in Asia and Africa, suffered significant declines in their ODA receipts from Commonwealth donors. The significance of these reductions for individual countries will, however, depend upon the size and pattern of the total aid received by them from all sources, and particularly upon the degree of their dependence on aid from Commonwealth donors.
