> It is open to developers, data producers, data visualizers, the media,
> representatives of partner countries as well as international development
> practitioners. Registrants will receive links to data and get a chance to

> The Data
> We have a wide range of donor data from AidData, which builds on the
> foundation of the OECD’s Creditor Reporting System. AidData has added an
> additional $1.8 trillion in development assistance to the often-referenced
> total of $2.3 trillion and now has information on more than 950,000
> development activities financed by approximately 70 countries and
> multilateral institutions from 1946 to the present day. Read more about
> AidData here:

>
> We are using IATI’s envisioned phase 1 standards as the foundation for what
> information would be available.
>
> TODO: We anticipate other donor data from DFID, Hewlett and the World Bank
