Lessons from aid tracking post disaster

• Establish or re-establish a government led system as soon as possible: The government has – and should retain – the greatest political capital to gather and analyze information about the aid they are receiving. Aid information policies - including markers such as DRR

• Major bilateral and multilateral donors to Haiti have a leading role in promoting new standards of transparency and accountability - currently no inclusion of DRR

• As yet there is no formal mechanism to track the estimated $2.5 billion provided to NGOs in private funding following the earthquake in Haiti

• Information systems should facilitate decentralization of data submission to project managers. Decentralization of data submission to project managers enables better data in response to specific project questions – i.e. how much funding of an education project has been invested in disaster risk reduction.
