Comparison Chart
This comparison chart shows donor progress in the Aid Transparency Index from 2013 – 2022.
Since 2013, the number of organisations included in the ‘very good’ category has significantly increased. These organisations are leading the transparency agenda by providing good quality data on their aid and development activities. Yet, there is still room for improvement as many organisations continue to be concentrated around the ‘fair’ category.
Find the organisation you are interested in and follow its progress over the years. Please note that not all donors have been assessed in every Index, and the methodology was updated for the 2018 and 2020 Indexes.

*For reasons of data availability it was only possible to review the transparency of this development bank’s sovereign (government backed) portfolio and not its private investments. The Inter-American Development Bank only manages the IDB Group’s sovereign-backed lending, its private sector portfolio is managed by IDB Invest, a separate entity within the Group.
