Transparency is an important part of aid effectiveness. It allows taxpayers, decision makers, journalists, and civil society to know how the United Statesis planning and implementing its foreign assistance, including what it is funding and where. The U.S. government currently hosts two databases – or“dashboards” – that provide similar aid data: ForeignAssistance.gov (FA.gov), hosted by the Department of State, and Foreign Aid Explorer (FAE),hosted by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
