Track donor funding
Our decade of evidence-based tracking is unique in that it holds bilateral and multilateral donors to account in a way that no other platform does.
One of our key initiatives is the tracking of bilateral and multilateral aid during and following crises when donor governments make new pledges and recipient governments face tremendous challenges. The team has tracked ODA to Haiti following the 2008 hurricanes, 2010 earthquake and cholera outbreak, and the Ebola crisis in West Africa.
Our decade of evidence-based tracking is unique in that it holds bilateral and multilateral donors to account in a way that no other platform does and the methodology is based on what is most useful from a recipient government’s point of view.
In all our tracking initiatives, we:
Focus
on global bilateral and multilateral funding.
Include data
from both humanitarian and recovery funding.
Place emphasis
on whether donor funding is aligned with national plans.
Identify modalities used by donors
i.e budget support, funding toward ministries, funding for international NGOs, multilaterals, national NGOs.
Analyzing data:
Once all the figures are collected an analysis:
Provides a global view of funding available per recipient country;
Identifies how donors are disbursing their funds with a view to understand what percentage of funds are being disbursed toward national or international counterparts;
Identifies major gaps in donor funding toward national recovery plans.
