Key Features & Capabilities • Online and Offline Data Entry • On-the-fly Querying • Analytics • (Tables, Charts, GIS Maps) • Report Builder • Workflow Manager • Multilingual Capability • Interoperability

DAD: Tracking Paris Declaration Automating Donor Performance Assessment Framework Report in Rwanda
DAD: Project Results & Outputs • Tracks key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor the financial and physical progress and results of projects against baselines/targets. • Projects linked to: • Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) • Paris Declaration indicators • National priorities and strategies (NDS, PRSP)
DAD: Budget Alignment • The best way to track alignment of aid data with the national budget is to integrate into the AIMS the Government’s Chart of Accounts. • Store dual sector mapping: • OECD DAC classification • National Economy Sectors • Align aid projects with the national development strategy / poverty reduction strategy. • Record On-budget/Off-budget projects • Integrate AIMS with Public Investment Database or Public Financial Management System
DAD: Budget Alignment • Afghanistan’s National Budget is planned through DAD • DAD Iraq integrates International Aid and Public Investment to combine external and domestic resources in budget planning. Same carried out at regional level in Kurdistan • Sri Lanka: Integrated National Development Information System (INDIS) is a good practice in AIMS evolution from a post-disaster reconstruction tracking tool to long-term development whole-of-government system.
DAD Integration: with PFM Systems • CDSS India is integrated with the Government of India Financial Management System (CAA&A) • Financial information on external assistance projects automatically transferred C&AAA to DAD • Avoids double data entry and reduces transaction costs CDSS EXIM User 1 User 3 CAAA User 2
DAD Integration: with Donor Systems Data Transfer Utility (DTU): links donor systems to country DAD systems • DTU eliminates potential duplication, reduces transaction costs, and creates greater incentives for data reporting World Bank’s Client Connection & DAD Pakistan • DTU transfers data from Client Connection automatically into the DAD. Synchronization put on hold. • Too specific solution, to be replaced by IATI
IATI Pilots Rwanda: • June 2010: Successfully tested import of IATI data into DAD. • February 2012: Pending finalization of SmartFMS system and its integration with DAD, carried out scoping mission towards establishment of automatic IATI data exchange. • Coming: early summer 2012: ‘go-live’ mission Sri Lanka: Pilot cancelled due to restructuring of the Government
IATI in Rwanda Data Transfer in technical details:
DAD: Data Quality Assessment • The system allows measuring data completeness of every project. • Projects with a score of 100% have full information provided; projects with lower project score are missing information and need attention (requiring follow-up with information providers). • Project data completeness analysis can also be generated with charts, maps, and reports.
DAD: Data Quality Assessment • The system allows to track how often and when a given project record has been modified/updated • Reports can be rapidly generated to show that information.
