High-Value Data

Meets Expectations
USAID published three high-value data sets in an open, machine-readable format on January 21, 2010:
  1. U.S. Overseas Loans and Grants (Greenbook): Data on U.S. economic and military assistance by country from FY1946-FY2007, available on data.gov and www.usaid.gov/open in CSV format
  2. U.S. Disbursements by Recipient Country and U.S. Agency: Official Development Assistance statistics by country and implementing agency for 2007-2008, available on data.gov and www.usaid.gov/open in CSV format.
  3. Trade Capacity Building: Data on funding levels of U.S. Trade Capacity Building activities from 1999-2008, available on data.gov and www.usaid.gov/open in CSV format.

Data Integrity

Meets Expectations
USAID has designated David Ostermeyer, Chief Financial Officer, to be accountable for the quality and objectivity of, and internal controls over, the Federal spending information publicly disseminated through such public venues as USAspending.gov or other similar websites.


Open Government Webpage

Meets Expectations
On February 1, 2010, USAID launched its Open Government webpage at http://www.usaid.gov/open. This site includes links to USAID's high-value data sets, the FY2008 FOIA Annual Report in PDF and CSV formats, and other USAID databases and information resources. The site will also link to USAID's Open Government Plan by April 7.


Public Consultation

Meets Expectations
On February 5, 2010, USAID will launch its public engagement tool at http://openusaid.ideascale.com, which will serve as the mechanism for the public to (1) provide input on the agency's Open Government Plan, (2) provide information about which information to prioritize for publication, and (3) provide feedback on assessment of the quality of published information.
