"We have many consultants come through Malawi. With the Aid Management Platform, this is the first time we feel we are getting exactly what we need and what we asked for."

Aid Management Platform
The Aid Management Platform (AMP) is a Web-based application that enables governments to better manage and coordinate development assistance. Designed for use by governments and their development partners, AMP improves and streamlines the processes for planning, monitoring, coordinating, tracking and reporting on international aid flows and activities.

While increasing efficiency and reducing users' workload, AMP strengthens the transparency of the aid management process and improves government ownership and the harmonization and alignment of development activities. In addition, AMP helps manage development resources according to national priorities, and measure impact in line with the Millennium Development Goals indicators. AMP directly addresses the key recommendations of the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness-ownership, alignment, harmonization, managing for results, and mutual accountability-in the following ways:

  • Ownership
    • Government-owned and led process.
    • Builds government capacity to manage aid.
    • Software is licensed, royalty-free and source-available.
  • Alignment
    • Financial inputs and outputs can be mapped to national poverty reduction strategies.
    • Standard information exchange format to which donors can align.
  • Harmonization
    • Enables common arrangements for planning, monitoring and reporting.
    • Provides standardized terminology and classification across governments and donors.
    • Facilitates coordination of donor missions and sharing of analysis.
  • Managing for Results
    • Provides results-oriented reporting and target monitoring tools.
    • Increases efficiency by streamlining aid management processes.
    • Saves time by facilitating accurate, comprehensive reporting on aid flows, trends, and projects.
    • Reduces administrative costs and duplication of work.
    • Emphasis on ensuring financial, technical, political, and organizational sustainability.
  • Mutual Accountability
    • Facilitates timely information exchange between partner governments and donors.
    • Enables comparison of planned and actual aid flows.
