Description
By continuously developing the Openaid.se platform, transparency and openness will increase and facilitate accountability to Swedish taxpayers and people in our partner countries. Continued development will include (i) further quality assurance, (ii) monthly updated information from all public actors allocated funds under the international development cooperation expenditure area, (iii) an expanded range of published documents explaining when, to whom and why money has been made available, (iv) enhanced visibility of the aid chain/activity structure displaying the linking between e.g. a policy decision and a disbursement, (v) a spotlight on results and evaluations, (vi) enhanced use of the open format (Application Programming Interface, API), which enables consumers to reuse the data, (vii) data from CSOs, and (viii) a focus on Sida’s recently developed whistleblower function. Those who use the data are able to contribute to the development of the platform by proposing improvements through the customer service function on the website.
