Who should publish aid data, and why?

By Alex Tilley | Apr 15, 2024 | Blog

Ideally, all aid organisations would publish detailed information about their programmes, spending and impact, allowing us full visibility of the aid delivery network. But there are hundreds of thousands of aid organisations around the world, and only 230 agencies (albeit the biggest ones) regularly publish data in the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) Standard. So, with such a mountain to climb, and limited resources, where should the IATI community focus its efforts? Alex Tilley looks at who is currently publishing IATI data and considers the pros and cons of supporting all those organisations funding and implementing aid projects to publish data, versus just the largest.

Closing data gaps that obstruct solutions to mobilising private finance for the SDGs

By Gary Forster and Guest | Apr 11, 2024 | Blog

With growing calls for both more and better targeted development finance to address rising global needs, private capital mobilisation (PCM) provides an essential part of the solution. For development finance institutions to reach the required scale, accurate measurement and disclosure of PCM data is necessary, so that DFIs and their stakeholders can better identify the most effective mechanisms for increasing the flow of private capital to emerging and developing economies. Gary Forster and Nancy Lee examine why Publish What You Fund is proposing a new method for better measurement and more disaggregated disclosure of mobilisation.

How is open aid data being used?

By Elma Jenkins | Apr 4, 2024 | Blog

More organisations are now publishing more aid and development data, with richer detail than ever before. And more tools are being produced to enable a broader group of people with different interests to access the data. All this effort is not in vain. Elma Jenkins has been digging into the detail of exactly how open aid data is now being used and highlights some of the creative ways it is supporting research, policy and development practice.

Gender equality funding data is a mess. How do we fix it?

By Alex Farley and Guest | Mar 11, 2024 | Blog

Many organisations have attempted to track funding for gender equality in recent years. We’ve all reached the same conclusion: the data is a mess. If we really want progress on gender equality, We need to move from measuring good intentions to measuring outcomes. We need a new approach. In this blog Alex Farley, Fionna Smyth, Mareen Buschmann, Hellen Malinga Apila propose a multi-stakeholder convening to review, discuss, and resolve the data issues.
