Overview
Publish What You Fund is the global campaign for aid transparency. Founded just two years ago, the campaign has emerged as an effective champion for increasing the availability and accessibility of aid information in a comprehensive, timely, and comparable manner. The campaign promotes implementation of the International Aid Transparency Initiative data standard through a combination of advocacy and communications outreach, while also monitoring donors’ compliance with the standard. The Foundation has been one of the organization’s core contributors over the past two years as it was incubated by a partner organization. With this grant to the newly independent organization, the campaign would concentrate on ensuring not only that foreign aid resources are transparent but also that data standards are interoperable so other development funding, including domestic resources, can be aligned and used most effectively.
