As the U.S. is the world's largest donor, Publish What You Fund is committed to a major outreach effort through communications, advocacy and institutional partnerships in pursuit of greater aid transparency.

The scale of U.S. aid spending, the sheer number of U.S. government agencies charged with that spending and the complexity of the appropriations process all make the US a natural priority for Publish What You Fund's global aid transparency campaign efforts.

Building upon the remarkable history of access to information efforts within the U.S., as well as the new administration's innovative approach to transparency in domestic spending (notably, recovery.gov ), Publish What You Fund advocates U.S. support for the International Aid Transparency Initiative so as to achieve comparable standards for assessing US aid spending in recipient countries against the examples of other donor nations.

To this end, Publish What You Fund will assess the the specific challenges and opportunities a U.S. advocacy campaign will involve; reach out to key administration and congressional staff to build support for the aid transparency agenda; and will actively participate in the Modernising Foreign Assistance Network - the main outreach network for aid charities and think tanks in the U.S.
