A lack of coherent tracking and procurement presents challenges to innovators in the fields of humanitarian aid and development. That leads international organizations to miss out on tools to help them with their work. The authors present an overview of the current situation, based on a literature review of donor organizations and interviews of innovators and aid/development organization actors, and make recommendations to improve the tracking systems to open them to innovation.
This report provides an overview of the approaches and platforms used by donor organizations at the funding, procuring, and reporting stages of humanitarian and development operations. The authors illustrate the barriers to entry for innovators who may have solutions for donation recipients — international aid and development organizations.
They found that no coherent system tracks aid flows throughout development and humanitarian aid processes. Furthermore, little transparency exists in exiting reporting systems, and there is a need to clarify responsibilities and create a coherent, user-friendly format for reporting and verification.
The authors make concrete recommendations for improving the overall situation.
