Description

Short description Implementing OPENAID 2.0, the public consultation platform providing data and information on Public Aid to Development from Italy to partner countries and the destination and use of funds for cooperation initiatives. General objective Strengthen national consensus on policy decisions on Italy’s commitment in the field of international cooperation. Such consensus has to rely on full transparency and accountability of strategies, programmes, activities carried out, funds allocated and results achieved by the Italian Cooperation. Current situation OPENAID is an online tool and contains all cooperation projects that Italy has funded since 2004. The platform: » Aggregates projects by beneficiary country, funding institution, sector of action, » Shows OECD, IMF and WB context indicators broken down by country and sector, » Monitors trends over the years of general resources, by country and sector, » Compares Italian resources with other OECD countries over time, » All data are released in an open format and can be reused for information and research purposes, » The project uses OSS only. Expected results The implementation of the OPENAID 2.0 platform is aimed at: » Enhancing the perception of transparency and accountability in the management of Public Aid to Development at national and international level, » Increasing the effectiveness of methods for data collection and ensuring a constant and systematic update of the same data, » Enhancing the quantity and quality of accessible data. Transparency and traceability of a public database on cooperation initiatives will help monitor the actions carried out by profit-making partners in beneficiary countries. This will ensure compliance with the OECD Guidelines on corporate social responsibility, the Global Compact principles and the Italian code of conduct for PPPs (publicprivate-partnership) in the field of cooperation. These principles include, in addition to social and environmental sustainability of actions, organizational transparency and fiscal accuracy in beneficiary countries.
