Timor Leste-led initiative on increasing transparency and access to aid information - July 2009 to February 2010

At Timor-Leste’s instigation and Cambodia’s kind invitation, Timor-Leste, Nepal and Laos visited Cambodia in August 29 to learn from their experience in designing and implementing Aid Information Management Systems (AIMS). Immediately following, CDDE supported these countries to come together in Bangkok with fourteen others to share practical country level experience on using AIMS for greater accountability and effectiveness. The event enabled all eighteen countries to contribute their perspectives to the design of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), a multi-stakeholder, global initiative to strengthen transparency in aid reporting and thus improve accountability and effectiveness. Following this meeting, the CDDE established a peer review group to develop a Practical Guidance Note on AIMS, based on the priorities of of country level users.
