The Development Assistance Database (DAD) is an aid information management system (AIMS) developed by Synergy International Systems,[1] for tracking development aid and managing official development assistance with transparency and accountability.[2] DAD is widely adopted AIMS[3] which has been established in more than 35 countries[4] worldwide in close cooperation with UNDP and respective governments. DAD provides country governments[5] and development partners with a consolidated source of data on development projects across all donors, demonstrates "who is doing what, when and where" in managing foreign aid,[6] enables harmonization of development projects with national priorities, facilitates management and coordination of development efforts in the country[7] by and promotes results-driven decision-making and aid effectiveness.[8]

DAD has served as the official government AIMS in Afghanistan,[9] Armenia, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic,[10] Comoros, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Iraq (including Kurdistan Regional Government),[11] Kazakhstan, Kenya, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria,[6] Lesotho,[12] Pakistan,[13] Papua New Guinea,[14] Philippines, Russia, Rwanda,[15] Sierra Leone,[16] Sri Lanka,[17] Somalia (including Somaliland),[18] Solomon Islands,[19] Tajikistan, Thailand, Ukraine,[20] Vietnam,[21] Yemen[5] and Zambia.[22]

History

Originally known as the Donor Assistance Database, the DAD was rebranded as the Development Assistance Database on August 2, 2005. The first Donor Assistance Database was a PC system developed in the scope of the G7 Support Implementation Group project for Russia in 1996 to monitor aid assistance donated from the international community.[23] The first Donor Assistance Database tracked 20,000 projects, and over US$100 billion in official development assistance delivered from 1991 to 2001.[24] The DAD was then adapted as a tool for the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union to monitor development assistance from the international community. These first generation implementations include Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine , and Tajikistan.[citation needed]

Most of these implementations have taken place through a partnership between the software company Synergy International Systems, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This partnership led to the signing of a long-term agreement in July, 2005.[25]
