Me love some good data, and if you study development aid, there is now one place to go: http://www.aiddata.org/home/index. AidData is pretty much what the site is--heaps and heaps of data, that can be separated out by recipient, donor, activity, and year (and more, I think). It is basically daring me to start asking questions about development and aid. I now have to sic a student or seven on it.
If you are interested in development, foreign aid, foreign policy, or particular countries' economic inputs/outputs, this is good place to go.

Hey Steve,
Keep in mind that aid flows (i.e. money flows) are not the be all, end all data on aid. As a matter of fact 'big flows' may in reality have little impact (deep societal results) if aid isn't allocated effectively (see current debates on Aid Effectiveness post-Paris Declaration and Accra Agenda for Action).
It's a fascinating topic.
The OECD also has a lot of data on its website.
Cheers,
MED
