MESSAGE FROM KARIN
The [2]High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness is only three months away.
Impressively, in that time [3]one third of global aid flows are set to be
published to the [4]International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)
[5]registry. With steady progress from donor governments and organisations
throughout the year, we hope to see them [6]meet their targets before the
end of the year.

The [7]Make Aid Transparent campaign is also ramping up activity: With over
126 countries and 82 organisations currently endorsing the campaign, we’ve
increased our targets! By the High Level Forum we want to have 10 000 public
signatures from 150 countries, with over 100 organisations demonstrating the
international demand for aid transparency.

RECENT NEWS
We were delighted to see [12]Madagascar become the 22nd partner country to
endorse [13]IATI on August 2nd. Major [14]congratulations also go to
[15]Development Initiatives Poverty Research, who on July 14th became the
fourth organisation, and first NGO, to publish their data in an IATI
compliant format.

The World Bank continues to improve [16]access to their data, having
launched the [17]World Bank Finances website, stating, “The World Bank
recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to the
development process and central to achieving the Bank’s mission to alleviate
poverty.”

Last month [18]BetterAid submitted a [19]response to the first draft of the
[20]Busan Outcome Document, stressing the need for it to reflect key civil
society concerns. The response stated that aid information must be
“comprehensive, timely, gender-disaggregated and comparable, integrated into
public budgets, and fully accessible to all citizens in donor and partner
governments.”

A white paper, “[21]Aid Transparency Integration: The Integration of Donor
and Recipient Government Financial Systems” was recently published
by [22]FreeBalance. The paper emphasises that greater integration between
donor and recipient budget systems is crucial to the success of aid
transparency, and that integration of different systems could be achieved
more quickly and inexpensively than previously thought.
