insight

The first comprehensive and simple overview of development finance.

Hundreds of billions of dollars in global development finance are mobilized to help developing countries tackle their development deficits. 

Yet the aid landscape is complex, and it can be difficult to have a clear picture of where funding comes from, where it goes, what it’s used for, and what impacts it has.

ui/ux design

Explore and search.

The interface enables policymakers or researchers to either explore the data with an alluvial diagram or search for something specific and get a custom profile page with visualizations of all the data available – from overview to detail.
