Dozens of major aid donors are failing to deliver on commitments to open their books and be more transparent about where and how they spend foreign aid money, according to an index published by the campaign group Publish What You Fund.
French and Japanese government agencies are among more than 40 donor organisations that receive overall “poor” or “very poor” scores in the latest aid transparency index, published on Thursday.
Italy, Spain, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also feature among the index’s worst performers.
