Synergy Development Assistance Database (DAD) is the leading commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) aid information management system (AIMS) on the market. DAD is the most widely implemented AIMS, with more than 30 countries currently using it . It helps aid-recipient countries track development aid flows, coordinate donor efforts, monitor projects, and plan the national budget. It also provides a comprehensive and accurate picture of the totality of development activities in a country. Through DAD, an aid-recipient country government and its development partners can make decisions based on reliable data, ensure that development aid contributes to national strategies and priorities, and act transparently and accountably.
Make Development Aid Transparent and Accountable
Knowing “Who is doing what, where how and with what resources” is one of the central challenges in managing foreign aid. Coordinate your development efforts based on a complete, reliable, and transparent picture of the aid landscape. DAD helps utilize external assistance most effectively,
coordinate aid across donors/investors based on their areas of comparative advantage, and define assistance programs by sector and available funding. It serves as an authoritative and complete source for official data on development assistance, for aid information collection and management, visualization and analytics, reporting and publishing.

Synergy Development Assistance Database comes with a large, flexible, and powerful suite of web-based querying, analytics, visualization, and reporting tools that make understanding your data easier than ever before. DAD provides a variety of simple ways for donors to submit data (online, offline, mobile and via mass import), and allow to generate both predefined and ad hoc/user-defined views for donor projects data presentation across all analytical modules (Tables, Reports, Charts, Dashboards, Bubbles, etc.).

Visualize and Analyze Aid Data
Synergy’s Aid Information Management System – DAD, contains a powerful GIS mapping feature that shows the geographic distribution of development funds and activities across a country. These map-based data visualizations help decision-makers identify actionable trends, gaps, or duplications in how development aid resources are allocated.
