Data from FAO projects is now easier to explore and understand
FAO unveils new Project Dashboard and Transparency Portal
21/06/2024
Rome – A new online dashboard released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides an intuitive, user-friendly way to visualize connections between FAO’s projects, resource partners, and thematic areas of work, offering an easy way for the public to understand the large amount of project data published by the Organization.
The launch of the dashboard underscores FAO’s commitment to transparency, by allowing users to explore where funding comes from, how it is distributed across different areas of the Organization’s work and how these projects help to deliver on priority areas under FAO’s Strategic Framework and advance progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
FAO Director-General QU Dongyu in remarks made at the dashboard’s launch said: “It will help you – our Members, our donors and other partners – to be able to easily track funding flows and connections between resources, projects and thematic areas.”
Enhancing transparency
The Director-General noted how the dashboard provides greater transparency and accessibility in the use of resources in FAO projects and that it is available on a dedicated FAO Transparency Portal accessible from the FAO homepage.
Since May 2017, FAO has been publishing data on a quarterly basis in accordance with the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), a common standard for publishing open, high-quality data on humanitarian and development projects and spending. IATI publishers range from donor governments to development finance institutions, UN organizations, NGOs and private sector entities, all of which commit to making their data easier to access, use and understand.
