In comparison with the code list effective in 2010 reporting on 2009 flows:

purpose codes for water and sanitation have been revised [agreed by the DAC
Working Party on Statistics WP-STAT in May 2009];

three purpose codes in the field of peace and security have been revised [agreed by
the WP-STAT in June 2010]: 15220-Civilian peace-building, conflict prevention and
resolution, 15230-Participation in international peacekeeping operations, and 15250Removal of landmines and explosive remnants of war;

purpose codes related to core support to NGOs (92010, 92020 and 92030) have
been removed. [This reflects the decision of the WP-STAT to identify core support to
NGOs as a type of aid and to use the purpose codes for recording the sector of
intervention of the NGO concerned. (If cross-cutting or unknown, the code multisector aid
is used.)]
