Methodology, IATI, and OAP • AidData fine-tuned methodology

• Creates a geographic hierarchy for each location •  Allows for aggregation, filtering by administrative division •  Allows users to view only site-level locations, administrative

funding, or both

• Accepted as the IATI standard for sub-national geocoding •  Allows systems to communicate, sharing common standards

• Methodology for the Open Aid Partnership (OAP)

Geocoding Toolkit • Toolkit developed with WBI to improve geocoding process

• Reduces demands for “manual” geographic data input

• Validation tools assure highest data quality

• Exportable to multiple formats

Aid Management Platform • Aid Information Management System active in 23

countries •  The EC funds the AMPs in Kosovo and Togo. •  Moldova and Kyrgyzstan are the last additions

•  In 2012, Advanced GIS module was added for all future upgrades/implementations of AMP

Country Impact: AMP 2.0 • Aid Management Platform GIS module

•  Integrated with AMP workflow •  Instant GIS mapping •  Identify and search for local activities •  Improve division of labor •  Report generation and planning •  Streamlined visuals •  USAID funded and initially piloted in Liberia

Country Impact: Malawi •  Geocoding all projects in Malawi Aid Management Platform

•  750+ projects from 30+ donors with nearly US$7 billion in total funding

•  Geocoded $5.3 billion in commitments and $3.7 billion in disbursements from nearly 600 projects

•  Integrating geocoded data into AMP for sustainable workflow and improved division of labor

•  Work presented by Malawi MoF at High Level Forum in Busan

•  Replicable and sustainable process for other AMP countries

Malawi: Donor Coordination

Malawi: CCAPS Dashboard

CCAPS Mapping Tool • Online data portal for visualizations on climate change

vulnerability, conflict and aid in Africa

• Mapping tool uses Esri’s ArcGIS platform

•  Includes multi-donor mapping of Malawi, and all active World Bank projects continent-wide and all African Development Bank projects approved in 2009-2010

CCAPS Mapping Tool • Allows users to select and layer any combination of

CCAPS data onto one map

•  Layers: aid projects, social and armed conflict, climate vulnerability

• Filters: dates, status, type of assistance, recipient, implementing agency, donor, locations and geo precision and climate relevance…
