Aid Information Management Systems A tool for strengthening development partnerships Tom Beloe, UNDP Regional Centre Bangkok 04 April 2008
Structure • What are AIMS? • What are they for? • What is needed for success? • What are the models? • How can I find out more?
“The size of a country’s fiscal space is the principal measure of ownership – anything else is imbued with well-meaning hypocrisy”
AIMS – what are they? • Web based - data management system • Inputs and outputs • Interface between a government’s PFMS and information from donors
What are they for? • Strengthen position of government in managing donor aid allocations • Increasing predictability... • Monitor progress on Paris Declaration indicators • Reduce administrative burdens for governments and donors alike
Increasing predictability? • Simple analysis of commitments against budget requirements is misleading • Overstates success in year one, and understates available resources for year 2
Pakistan: Example a data entry screen to record Paris Declaration Indicators
What is needed for success? • Leadership; • Information disclosure; • Inter-ministerial coordination • Donor support • Financial and human resources requirements
What are the models? • AMP (Development Gateway Foundation) • DAD (Synergy International Systems) • Nationally developed (eg Cambodia)
How can I find out more? • Experience in the Asia Pacific region (lots!) • www.aideffectiveness.org • www.dgfoundation.org • www.synisys.com/ • UNDP Regional Centre Asia Pacific
