Publish What You Fund is the global campaign for aid transparency. We represent the culmination of an initiative by two organisations – Tiri and Access Info – working in the integrity reform and access to information fields (respectively), who formed a coalition with a number of development-orientated CSOs (Action Aid, UKAN and ONE) to establish the Publish What You Fund Principles.

Following our launch in September 2008 at the Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, these Principles have provided a platform for promoting greater transparency of aid, and have brought together the perspectives of those working on the promotion of government integrity and right of access to information. Our work builds on and complements that of other civil society actors and initiatives working on aid transparency.

Our work, which is designed to reflect the ethos of our founders, is supported by a Working Group composed of Publish What You Fund’s Director Karin Christiansen, Martin Tisné (Tiri), Helen Darbishire (Access Info), Oliver Buston (ONE), Sarah Mulley (personal capacity, former UKAN Coordinator), and Caroline Sergeant (personal capacity, former UK Alternate Executive Director to the World Bank).
