The Open Society Institute Local Government/Public Service Reform Initiative (OSI LGI), under the auspicies and in close cooperation with the OECD/Development Assistance Co-operation (OECD/DAC) and the Stability Pact Working Table I. (SP WT I), has been working on an initiative called the Donor Assistance Mapping Exercise (DAME) since Spring 2004. The objective of DAME is to map local government specific donor assistance to Stability Pact beneficiary countries.
The DAME initiative was born out of the realization that while donor assistance continues to flow to these countries' recipient governments, donors and experts developing aid policies lack aid coordination, which results in both overlappings and vacuums in covering geographic and sectoral areas. Providing a tool for infusing these essentially independent policies with the benefits of coordination would only make donors' efforts more effective and efficient.
The DAME database provided on this page draws its information solely and entirely from the much larger info set of the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate. What DAME does is filtering that larger dataset on donor assistance so that only local governance related projects are listed here.
OSI LGI is not in the position to make changes in this database. Donors who wish to add, delete or change records in the database should use their regular contact channels to OECD DAC. All changes made in the OECD DAC dataset will be copied to the DAME database. In case you would like to know more about the DAME initiative or you have questions and comments about the database please send an email to Kristof Varga at . |
