19. 但是，在将援助导向最贫穷和最易受伤害的人方面，官方发展援助和发展方面业务活动供资能发挥重大影响，因为此类供资在着重关注不让任何人掉队和消除贫穷方面具有相对优势。例如，2000 年之后增长的国际资源只有不到 7%流入了最不发达国家。11 2015 年外国直接投资总额达 7 650 亿美元，但只有 350 亿或 5%流入了最不发达国家。相比之下，2015 年有 44%的官方发展援助付款和 47%的发展方面业务活动支出用于最不发达国家。
19. In terms of directing aid to the poorest and most vulnerable people, however, ODA and funding for operational activities for development can have a significant impact, given that such flows have a comparative advantage in focusing on leaving no one behind and ending poverty. For example, less than 7 per cent of the growth of international resource flows since 2000 went to the least developed countries. 11 Of the $765 billion in foreign direct investment flows in 2015, only $35 billion, or 5 per cent, went to those countries. By contrast, 44 per cent of ODA disbursements and 47 per cent of operational activities for development expenditures were for those countries in 2015.
