Development and Implementation of an Aid Information Management System (AIMS) for Somalia

The UNDP is supporting the Federal Government of Somalia to develop and implement a new Aid Information Management System (AIMS). The successful applicant will, under an UNDP contract, develop and support the implementation of the new AIMS. The AIMS will be managed by the Ministry of Planning, Investment and Economic Development of the Federal Government of Somalia.

Somalia receives large volumes of aid from foreign donors. It is useful to track these flows so that the Government of Somalia, donors and civil society can coordinate and share information. Data users need to know how much money flows, to which regions, for what purpose, from who, implemented by who, and between what dates.

This tracking is currently being done by exchanging and compiling data in MS Excel sheets but a review of the needs and processes in Somalia and experience from other countries shows that while core processes and stakeholders will remain the same, a web app would make the collection simpler and enable more people to access the data.
