AidData 3.0 Data Portal Release Makes Development Finance More Intuitive
AidData, a research and innovation lab that seeks to improve development outcomes by making development finance data more accessible and actionable, released the 3.0 version of the aiddata.org portal during Global Transparency Week.
Building upon previous efforts to track all aid flows, the 3.0 data portal seeks to capture the total resource envelope available to countries to plan for their development in one interactive interface. Policymakers and practitioners are now able to compare data on over $40 trillion in remittances, foreign direct investment, and aid from 90 donor agencies. Private foundation grants and domestic public expenditure from developing countries will also be added in the coming months.
The AidData 3.0 release is a major step forward in making aid information not only more transparent, but also more useful in advocacy, research, and decision making. (We hope you think so too. Let us know here.) Read below for more information and be sure to check out the capabilities of the new site.
