The Aid Transparency Index incentivises 50 of the largest aid organisations to regularly publish high-quality IATI data. They made up 92% of total spending recorded in IATI in 2023.
What more could be done to encourage others to publish aid data?

🌍We’d like all aid organisations to publish details of their spending and impact. But is this realistic?

@alexjtilley examines the scale of the challenge & asks if resources should be targeted at encouraging the largest agencies to publish aid flows.

We need to improve the way private capital mobilisation is measured and reported.

Ahead of the launch event on Tuesday, Gary Forster &
Nancy Lee examine how a new approach could help the way DFIs are governed, held to account and scale up investment.

Mobilisation is an essential part of the solution to close the SDG finance gap. But a lack of transparent & accurate data is holding back our understanding of what approaches work, in what regions & sectors.
Gary Forster & Nancy Lee offer a way forward:

Current disclosure of private capital mobilisation (PCM) by DFIs and MDBs is insufficient for stakeholders and analysts to understand what instruments and tools effectively mobilise the private sector.

Increasing private capital mobilization is a key part of meeting the financing gap for the SDGs. Improving the measurement of PCM is an fundamental step and we have worked with stakeholders to advance an improved approach.⤵️

DFIs have to scale up private capital mobilisation if we are to close the financing gaps in meeting the SDGs and addressing the climate crisis. As stakeholders seek to reform MDBs, we need to understand what works to mobilise private capital, and in what contexts.

More aid and development data is now available, and there are more ways to access it. We have examined how IATI data can be used to support research, policy and development practice, and who is currently using it.
