  6. Project Implementation Monitoring through Aid Information • Aid information sharing continues to pose a challenge. • Without accurate and timely aid data, the Government is unable to plan effectively, identifying duplication and critical gaps. • Government has initiated a process in which we collect project information from Focal Points and enter them in the DAD. • The Government continues calls for all partners to use the DAD as their central reporting framework.
