Aims & Objectives• We know that aid is not always delivering the
maximum impact possible• Aid transparency is fundamental to delivering
on donors’ aspirations and the promise of aid• Essential to a series of aid effectiveness
commitments– Accra Agenda for Action specific aid transparency
commitments as well as Paris Dec & upcoming HLF4
• Our attempt to undertake a comparative stock take of the current levels of aid transparency

The Publish What You Fund Aid Transparency Principles
1. Information on aid should be published proactively
2. Information on aid should be comprehensive, timely, accessible and comparable
3. Everyone can request and receive information on aid processes
4. The right of access to information about aid should be promoted
![Page 4: Aid Transparency Assessment 2010](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816599550346895dd87467/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Approach & Methodology
• Aim to assess levels of publication for the full range of information types in terms of their comprehensiveness, timeliness and comparability
• But methodology was driven by lack of primary data available
• Peer review committee established to advise on approach and methodology
![Page 5: Aid Transparency Assessment 2010](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816599550346895dd87467/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Methodology
• 7 indicators in 3 categories• 8 data sources (from 2006 to 2010)• 3 categories given equal weighting• 30 donors - because we could get data on
them

Findings
Finding 1: There is a lack of comparable and primary data
Finding 2: There is wide variation in levels of donor transparency, across different types of donors
Finding 3: There are significant weaknesses across indicators

Finding 3: Significant weaknesses across
indicators
![Page 17: Aid Transparency Assessment 2010](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816599550346895dd87467/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

ConclusionsConclusion 1: The lack of primary data
means that it is not currently possible to assess donor aid transparency in the degree of detail desirable
Conclusion 2: Even so, we know enough to be confident that there is room for improvement across all indicators assessed
![Page 19: Aid Transparency Assessment 2010](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816599550346895dd87467/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RecommendationsRecommendation 1: Donors have demonstrated
they can make information available, so they should
Recommendation 2: Transform more information into better information through a common standard – mappable, searchable, useable
Recommendation 3: Ensure common standard delivers for everyone – recipient systems esp. budgets, donors internal systems, HLF 4

Future aid transparency assessments
• Future assessments would ideally cover greater range of aid agencies (e.g. all donor govts incl. ‘emerging’ donors, humanitarian agencies, INGOs, private companies, contractors)
• Disaggregate donor performance country by country, programme by programme – variation inside agencies
• Cover range of info types from aid policies/ procedures; aid strategies; aid flows; terms of aid; procurement; assessments of aid & aid effectiveness; integrity procedures; public participation; to access to info mechanism
BUT need your help and suggestions on way forward
