The Aid Information Challenge 2010 builds on the ground swell of support for transparency of governments in their development activities. The goal of this event is to provide tangible, practical demonstrations of how development data can be used.

This informal unconference is a mix of barcamp, ignite talk and hackathon. It is open to developers, data producers, data visualizers, the media, representatives of partner countries as well as international development practitioners. Registrants will receive links to data and get a chance to present their ideas to the participants by facilitating a session.

The Data
We have a wide range of donor data from AidData, which builds on the foundation of the OECD’s Creditor Reporting System. AidData has added an additional $1.8 trillion in development assistance to the often-referenced total of $2.3 trillion and now has information on more than 950,000 development activities financed by approximately 70 countries and multilateral institutions from 1946 to the present day.

We are using IATI’s envisioned phase 1 standards as the foundation for what information would be available.

TODO: We anticipate other donor data from DFID, Hewlett and the World Bank
