The document discusses mapping aid to Uganda's budget in real time using open data standards. It describes how aid data was previously collected from donors through surveys, which found double the amount of aid compared to what the Ugandan government knew. The data was then manually mapped to Uganda's budget categories over many months. The document advocates for using the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) open data standard to automatically map aid to recipient country budgets in real time, which would help with accountability, coordination, and planning of aid efforts. Several organizations are working on pilot projects to publish and visualize aid data in accordance with the IATI standard.
