The map allows you to see how aid development is distributed across the world. Please keep in mind that only data that is published to IATI is reflected in this map.

Select an item in the filter menu to open a filter, in which you can select any number of items. Click “Apply” to see the data and visualisations applicable to the current filter selection. Once a filter has been selected, the other filter menus will only show filters applicable to the current selection. If you would like to explore the data in more depth select “More Filters” to view a detailed list of additional filters. A green dot next to an item in the filter menu indicates the filter is active.

Using bookmarks, you can easily save relevant activities so that you have quick and simple access to them. You can bookmark any information on AIDA: an activity, a country, a sector, a donor, etc. See here for a tutorial on how to use bookmarks.

With the data alerts you can stay informed about any updates on AIDA.

How? You can set data alerts to get notified when there is an update based on your bookmark selection. Data alerts are sent once per week via email. See here for a tutorial on how to set up your data alerts.

The map and tables show the data your organisation published through IATI. If your organisation’s IATI publication is not fully accurate you will indeed see that reflected here. We can advise you on your IATI publication so your IATI publication will provide an accurate image of your organisation’s activities. Contact us.

Any organisation that wants to be more transparent about their activities can publish in IATI. Additionally, a large section of publishers are organisations receiving funding from donors such as governments, since publishing in IATI can also be a contractual requirement and thus needed for donor compliance.

Publisher list on the registry

If you go to their publisher page you can see when their datasets have been last updated.

The AIDA Platform is a visualisation layer on top of all raw IATI data. This means that the data quality depends on the publishers and the quality of their publications. AIDA only shows what is published.

Not certain about the data quality you are achieving through your current IATI tooling? If you are publishing through the AIDA Data Manager, a valid publication is ensured.

See the IATI Validator to find out the data quality of a specific publisher

See the publishing tool in AIDA

In the table view of the data, click the cloud icon in the top right corner of the table. This will allow you to download the current selection in CSV format.

As a programme manager, you can use AIDA to:

• Search for countries where similar projects are happening

• See what activities are/were implemented in a country

• See the stakeholders active in specific sectors/ countries (downstream & upstream).

The data on AIDA is updated when a reparse is triggered manually. New and updated datasets are downloaded from the IATI registry and parsed to fit the datastore standard.

The AIDA platform shows data as it is published to the IATI Registry. Publishers report their data in varying degrees of detail, so not all activities will contain information on all IATI elements. Additionally, data that contain critical IATI validation failures will not be visible in AIDA. If you feel your data is not listed on AIDA please contact us.

The activity detail page shows incoming and outgoing transactions based on the IATI transaction-type codelist. Incoming transactions show data for codes 1 (incoming funds), 11 (incoming commitment), and 13 (incoming pledge). Outgoing transactions show data for codes 2 (outgoing commitment), 3 (disbursement), 4 (expenditure) and 12 (outgoing pledge).

Transaction values are converted into USD in order to aggregate monetary data. The exchange rates are retrieved from the International Monetary Fund, based on the Special Drawing Right per currency unit. The exchange rates are based on monthly averages and stored in our database, and are updated whenever a reparse of the data happens.

Country descriptions are retrieved from the first paragraph of the relevant country’s Wikipedia page.
