AidInfo recently released a paper ‘Technical Innovation: The Opportunities for Increasing Transparency and Accessibility of Aid Data’, which considers the changing relationship between aid institutions and citizens.
As of today, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations is granting free and open access to its database, FAOSTAT , which is the world’s largest repository of data on food, agriculture, and hunger.
We are delighted that following the announcement of the UKaid Transparency Guarantee, the Secretary of State for International Development, Andrew Mitchell, reaffirmed his commitment to aid transparency with his statement to the International Aid Transparency Initiative meeting on 7th July 2010:
The German cabinet has approved a detailed plan to combine the country’s three foreign aid agencies into a single unit.
The Informal Governance Group and Alliance 2015 have just released a working paper, ‘Aid and Budget Transparency in Mozambique: Constraints for Civil Society, the Parliament and the Government’.
Providing a valuable case study and argument for the necessity of aid transparency, the study documents and analyses the problems faced by civil society, the Parliament and the Government of Mozambique when doing work related to the budget with less-than-transparent aid.
