Bilateral and Multilateral Funding, 2016
In order to provide a more comprehensive picture of the human rights funding landscape, the Advancing Human Rights: Knowledge Tools for Funders initiative has begun tracking bilateral and multilateral support. Using the OECD's Creditor Reporting System (CRS), one of the most comprehensive data sets available on aid, researchers mapped the data to the project taxonomy to categorize aid disbursements by issue area, region of focus, and population.
