Tell Donor Governments to Publish What They Fund

Aid makes a real difference. It can save lives, put children into school, and reduce extreme poverty. But at the moment we don't have a full picture of how much money is being spent, where, or on what. With more information, citizens in both donor and recipient countries would be able to see where and how aid is spent, putting them in a better position to demand that it is spent effectively.

2011 is a critical moment. Governments are meeting later this month in South Korea and we have the chance to hold them to account. Public pressure for greater transparency can make a huge difference.

Act today: Ask your political leaders to please make aid more transparent and encourage others to do so, too.
