Editor's Notes

  • #4 For the first time Bolivia is putting its development projects on a map – government reported data, not donor reportedMap shows that donor projects are relatively well aligned with poverty Darker colored districts shows higher poverty levelAll data will be public in an IATI format on the new Open Aid Partnership website and on the governments own website (built on the same open source Open Aid Map platform, financed by the OAP)
  • #6 Open aid maps can inform donor collaboration and understanding of where different donors workThis map was produced for the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim joint trip to the Great Lakes Region in MayCombining and visualizing World Bank and UN geocoded data representing a part of their broader commitment to work more closely togetherThe map shows World Bank and UN agency portfolios in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)Portfolios compliment each other. UNDP is mostly in the fragile areas in east, and the World Bank in high poverty areas in the west
  • #7 This map is a first draft, fresh from the press, that shows internally and externally financed projects in Bolivia at the provincial level.Bolivia has the data down to the municipal level. More will be shown later in the Bolivian presentation.Shows by province the share of donor financing, e.g. this province has high donor share, and this high government share. Support integration of budget data, including a platform to visualize internally and externally financed data, is the next thing we want to focus on in Bolivia.
