The Aid Effectiveness Web Portal is a comprehensive Web Content Management System (CMS) that allows organizations and professionals to easily disseminate information, effectively share knowledge, and creatively engage in collaborative endeavors.  

The Portal provides a full range of knowledge management and collaboration services through the posting of key documents, events, press releases, discussion forums, minutes of meetings, points of contact, and other relevant information. 

Implemented in environments ranging from post-disaster reconstruction to long-term development, the Portal connects aid effectiveness stakeholders with the goal of promoting a synergistic approach to development work.
