AidData Research Releases

One of AidData's primary goals is to facilitate research on international development topics by providing researchers in both the private and public sector with reliable, up-to-date, and comprehensive data on development finance. To best meet the specific needs of the research community, AidData provides periodic snap-shots of our database. These snapshots allow researchers to run analysis, publish, and cite static versions of our database.

Those wishing to use our dataset to produce research are strongly advised to do so using one of our research releases and not on the live dataset. The live data set is continually updated and subject to change without notice.
