Slovakia – Slovak Agency for International Development Cooperation

Very Poor

ATI_Donor Graph-55

OVERVIEW

Slovakia is not an IATI signatory but is covered by the Busan common standard commitments, of which IATI is a core component. It is the newest member of OECD’s DAC and has joined OGP but its National Action Plan does not include any commitments specific to aid transparency. Slovakia has produced a common standard implementation schedule, although this is currently incomplete and lacks an explicit plan for implementing IATI. Slovakia is an observer of the EU-13 project for enhancing ODA reporting capacity and systems and is understood to be developing its own software for IATI publication.

ANALYSIS

Slovakia scores 12%, placing it in the very poor category. It ranks 37th out of 49 bilateral organisations. Slovakia performs well on organisation-level planning but is weak on financial data, publishing just one year forward budgets for recipient countries. Slovakia’s performance at the activity level is similarly poor. It provides some basic activity information in annual reports and budget documents but scores less than 10% of the total possible points for activity financial and classification information and the provision of project documents. It also does not score on performance data. Of the 22 indicators that take format into account, less than one third are published in machine-readable formats. Overall, Slovakia does not score on 25 out of the 39 indicators.

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Slovakia should join IATI and aim to begin publishing to the IATI standard in 2014.
  • It should update its common standard implementation schedule by early 2014, to include plans for full implementation of IATI by the end of 2015.
  • Slovakia should update its OGP National Action Plan to include commitments to aid transparency and implementing IATI.

There is a list of projects published here via the Kenya page on the website, but the latest info is for Expand...2010.

It appears they are supposed to be updated annually. We know there is more current information because there is a 2013 strategy document, including Kenya, here: http://www.slovakaid.sk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/NP-ODA-2013.pdf There is also a 2012 Annual Report, which has a greater level of information about projects than anywhere else. These are all completed projects though: http://www.slovakaid.sk/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Vyrocna-sprava-SAMRS-za-rok-2012.pdf Therefore, no activity level indicators can achieve a score since there is no current information for this survey to assess that we found.
