How visible is development cooperation beyond the DAC?

By Henry Lewis | Oct 13, 2026 | Blog

As the traditional aid landscape shifts, a wider group of governments is playing a growing role in development cooperation. But how much of their contribution is visible in public data? The second report in our Making Impact Visible series assesses the transparency of 47 providers of international development cooperation that are not part of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC). In this post, Henry Lewis sets out what the research covered, the strong data foundations it identified, and the information that’s missing.

Can AI solve open aid data’s access problem?

By Elma Jenkins and Alex Tilley | Jul 2, 2026 | Blog

For years, accessing raw aid data has required specialist skills – understanding data structures, writing queries, and interpreting complex reporting practices. That has created a reliance on “data intermediaries” to turn data into insights. Elma Jenkins and Alex Tilley have been testing whether AI agents could bridge that gap by querying raw IATI data directly. In this blog they set out their findings – the potential and reality of using AI to mine aid data.

Is FFD4 turning its back on aid transparency?

By Gary Forster | Mar 25, 2025 | Blog

As the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) takes shape, there is a concerning silence around aid transparency. At a time when transparency is more vital than ever – to ensure that scarce development finance is accountable, effective, and impactful -it appears to be falling off the agenda.

What can you learn about aid and development projects through D-Portal?

By Gary Forster | Sep 5, 2024 | Case studies

Gary Forster introduces the aid and development information that can be found on D-Portal – a gateway to the 800,000 projects in the International Aid transparency Initiative dataset. Using the example of investments made by the African Development Bank into water and sanitation projects in Zambia, Gary shows the wealth of information (such as objectives, partners, funding disbursements, and evaluation reports) that can be explored when agencies publish good data.
