Clinton Lauds DG Haiti Partnership


In a recent speech at New York University, former U.S. President Bill Clinton referenced Haiti’s new aid tracking system which partially adapts Aid Management Platform technology. The system, which is the result of a partnership between Development Gateway and others technology companies, will track financial commitments by public sources as well as national and international donors. Clinton stressed the importance of eliminating unnecessary overlap while ensuring that funding is used to maximum benefit. He implored donors to make use of the system, asserting that “there’s going to be at least a billion dollars of NGO money flowing through Haiti and probably more before we finish.”
