As Interaction says on its website, this map is part their project called NGO Aid Map.
The project “is focused on collecting aid and development information at the project level and making it accessible to donors, NGOs, businesses, governments and the public through an online, interactive mapping tool.
Although the data on the site represents only a portion of NGOs’ work in the field, the site aims to:
- Increase transparency within the NGO community
- Facilitate partnerships and improve coordination among NGOs, private sector, governments and donors
- Help NGOs and others involved in relief and development make more informed decisions about where to direct their resources
- Serve as a tool for advocacy and influence policy
NGO Aid Map uses the latest technology to pinpoint projects by area and sector to demonstrate the depth of the work of the NGO community around the world. Best practices are highlighted in select areas, allowing for information sharing on effective approaches.”
