  3. CCAPS The Politics of Data:Empirical Challenges to Tracking and Geomapping Climate Aid

  4. CCAPS Step 1: Overcome the poverty of subnational project level data on ODA flows An example: Malawi

  5. CCAPS An example: Malawi Water Water Agriculture Agriculture

  6. CCAPS CCAPS Step 2: Geocoding • Use of AidData geocoding methodology (used in World Bank Mapping for Results initiative) • Ability to geocode dependent on quality of project documents (huge variation across donors)

  7. CCAPS Step 3: Climate Coding • No established robust coding or reporting method for capturing adaptation aspects of ODA projects • Adaptation is usually integrated or mainstreamed into traditional development projects • Debate over “what counts as adaptation” and what kind of adaptation (or maladaptation) exists within projects

  8. 2011 Pilot Study: Malawi • MOU with Ministry of Finance in Malawi (Jan.2011) • Identification of ODA projects (all donors, all sectors) through AMP system developed by Development Gateway • Fieldwork conducted in March and 2011 to collect all active project documents (~800) from 29 ODA donors reporting to the AMP system • Geocoding conducted by team of CCAPS and AidData interns, summer-fall 2011 • Climate Coding in progress – to be vetted by expert group in November 2011 at CCAPS Climate Aid Tracking Workshop • “Groundtruthing” and further qualitative fieldwork in 2012-2014. • Scaling Up: All-Africa Geocoding and Climate Coding by 2015.

  9. CCAPS EARLY RESULTS

  10. Locations of individual projects for all ODA donors • Dynamic maps • All sorts of overlays and data mash-ups possible

  11. CCAPS Next Steps: CCAPS Data Dashboard

  14. Why Aid Data Visualization Matters • Enhance donor-donor and donor-recipient coordination. • Strengthen country ownership, project feedback and accountability. • Facilitate development planning and budget management. • Provide powerful analytical tool for scholarship on aid, climate change and development. • Help to determine whether UNFCCC commitments to “new and additional finance” are being met and whether adaptation and mitigation aid is targeting the most vulnerable areas.
