Better information, better aid

Welcome to aidinfo - an initiative to accelerate poverty reduction by making aid more transparent.

We think that aid works. But we also think that it will work better - and that poverty will be reduced more quickly - when governments, civil society and people in both industrialised and developing countries (in whose name aid is being spent) can access information about aid quickly, easily and cheaply.

We're hoping to develop this site to share knowledge, understanding and experience of finding and using aid data and statistics - so please take a look around and feel free to share your own experience and views.

We'd like to kick off the debate by asking you what you think of the following report, which aims to summarise the evidence that we have gathered so far for greater aid transparency. Better information, better aid: draft consultation paper.

We'd welcome suggestions, additions, comments and corrections via our forum or by email. Alternatively, you can fill in the online contact form or call us: +44 (0)1749 671343. Thank you!
