Title: Solving Uganda's budget puzzle - factoring in the aid spend. A fantastic visual
Post by: harnett on November 29, 2011, 15:46:56 GMT
The Guardian states: http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2011/nov/25/uganda-aid-confusion-analyse-spending?intcmp=239

"The Publish What You Fund campaign group and the Open Knowledge Foundation have now produced a visualisation of Uganda's aid and budget data for 2003-2006, billed as the first time both sets of data have been displayed together in a way that is easy to explore.

The results were striking: it turned out the Ugandan government was only aware of half the aid being spent in the country, despite routinely requesting this information from donors."

The visualisation is here (and is similar to the UK and Armenian examples we had in another post): http://www.publishwhatyoufund.org/uganda/uganda-with-data.htm#/^/2004/~/aid-and-domestic-spending-in-uganda-br----ugx-
