AidinfoWe work to accelerate poverty reduction by making aid more transparent. We believe that aid will work better – and that poverty reduction will come about more quickly – when information about aid can be accessed quickly, easily and cheaply. In short, we think that better aid will result from better information. We strive to enable governments, civil society and citizens greater and easier access to information on aid. This means that aid money can be tracked, adequate project feedback given and that government and donors can be held to account. AIDSPortal works with Aidinfo on AidLink.
