Geocoded Data

Geocoding aid, or mapping the precise locations of aid activities at the sub-national level, increases aid transparency by making it easier for governments, donors, and citizens to visualize precisely where funding is directed. AidData has collaborated with the World Bank Institute, African Development Bank, Malawi Ministry of Finance, and Climate Change and African Political Stability Program (CCAPS) at the University of Texas to map projects from over 30 donors in Malawi, and World Bank/African Development Bank projects in up to 144 countries. This section includes several geocoded activity-level donor datasets.

World Bank Mapping for Results: This dataset contains nearly 2,500 active World Bank projects in over 30,000 locations across 144 countries. The dataset was created by AidData in partnership with the World Bank Institute and is current to September 2011.

In total, there are 183 projects worth over $15 billion in total funding, working in nearly 2,000 locations across 43 African countries. The work was featured in the AfDB’s 2011 Annual Development Effectiveness Review.

Malawi Aid Management Platform (Coming Soon): This dataset contains nearly all projects from more than 30 donors in the Malawi Ministry of Finance’s Aid Management Platform. In total, nearly $6 billion of Malawi’s $7 billion in recent aid funding is mapped, representing nearly 2,000 locations. AidData and CCAPS are currently geocoding additional Malawi aid projects worth over $500 million. The updated data will be available in December, and will represent more than 90% of Malawi’s total aid portfolio.
