Publish What You Fund will not be running the Aid Transparency Index in 2026, and all future editions are in doubt unless further funding can be secured. The Index has provided an independent assessment and ranking of the transparency of the world’s largest aid agencies since 2012. It has had a significant impact on the quality and quantity of aid data that is published to the IATI Standard. Without it, there is great risk of an unchecked decline in aid transparency.
