Subject: World Bank Group Rates Highest in Aid Transparency (Publish What you Fund Report)
Dear Colleagues,
As a follow up on a previous email we already sent to you on the Bank Open data initiative, attached is a copy of the recent study from Publish What You Fund entitled "Aid Transparency Assessment 2010". According to this study, the World Bank Group has scored the highest ratings on aid transparency among 30 leading multilateral and bilateral aid agencies. The World Bank was the highest overall scoring donor (85.4%), and is well above average in nearly all seven indicators.
This is a significant result for the Bank as it recognizes the efforts the Bank have undertaken on promoting greater transparency, aid effectiveness, and results.

****************************************************************************
Publish What You Fund is based in London, UK, and was launched at the 2009 Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness by a coalition of CSOs who work on governance, aid effectiveness, and access to information. Among its founding members are InterAction in the US and Concord in Europe. It is financed by the Open Society Institute and Hewlett Foundation. They work closely with partners internationally, including several leading organizations in Washington: Center for Global Development, Brookings Institute, and Bank Information Center (BIC).
This assessment is the first attempt to undertake a detailed comparative assessment of current levels of aid transparency among bilateral and multilateral donor agencies. The study, called the "Aid Transparency Assessment 2010", represents the first global report using the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) standards. The assessment is based on eight of the most reliable international data sources, including OECD, EU. The study examines seven indicators related to access to information, quality of reporting, transparency of aid flows, support to freedom of information policies, and participation in IATI.
At the same time, the Bank note the points highlighted for improvement and will be continually focusing on this issue.
