Bilateral official development assistance for health could return to levels not seen since 2008.
This could have significant implications for countries that rely on external financing to support their health systems.

Official development assistance (ODA) to least developed countries could fall by 10.9% in 2026, marking a third consecutive year of decline and its lowest level since the early 2000s.

Australia's aid transparency has come a long way. The next step, Matthew Morris argues on Devpolicy Blog, isn't more dashboards — it's DFAT publishing 2 spreadsheets: the full Tier 1 dataset & Tier 2 results data behind the aggregates. #AidTransparency

G7 finance ministers formally backed #IATI + #OECD-CRS + #TOSSD interoperability under the Sevilla Platform for Action.
For those managing an country-level #AIMS, this is the political cover needed to keep ingesting IATI alongside CRS. #aidtransparency

Out of lockup. ODA/foreign policy budget thread for those tracking. The govt is still basically holding foreign aid steady. ODA will be $5.209 billion for 2026-27, growing to $5.426 billion in 27-28. Drops to $5.326 billion the year after that, then $5.45 billion in 29-30 /1/

Small updates to Activity Locations:
-Required fields now marked with clear red dots
-Location descriptions display where you'd expect them, in both list and card views
- Long location names wrap instead of being cut off
- Cleaner modal headers and a subtler "Show more" style.

Activity Dates now all look consistent. Every date field shows a little calendar icon, so you can spot them at a glance. No more hunting for which field is a date. Tiny change, smoother flow.

Myanmar 🇲🇲: PLA resistance forces seized control of a junta camp in the Naypyidaw Union Territory, situated on a hill just several dozen km north of the capital's outskirts.
It's time. After some reflection, I'm stepping back from posting on X. I'll still be around as a reader but won't actively participate.

Dictatorship. Displacement Destruction. Not all greens symbolise growth.

Global aid is fragmenting.
Individual grants have halved since 2000, while financing is getting more complex.
What does this mean for transparency & accountability?

In the face of ongoing global conflicts, the pursuit of justice & accountability remains paramount. It is equally vital that (int’l) legal & judicial processes are accessible to ALL victims & survivors. @asiajcoalition 'Toolkit on Justice Avenues' is NOW available in 9 languages.
⚔️ Diversifying aid flows = a double-edged sword. More resources, but tracking and accountability get tougher. Should #IATI adapt its transaction categories to better reflect this complexity?
Keen to hear your thoughts!

Has anyone found an online system that lets the public rate aid projects—like @Google Reviews but for development work? Vaguely recall seeing something like this years ago, but I can't remember where.
