Lao PDR Active Aid Activities: IATI Humanitarian and Development Data

Active humanitarian and development aid activities in the Lao People's Democratic Republic are documented in this dataset shared via the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). Updated as of March 2026, it serves as a centralized source for international assistance efforts within the country.

Use Cases

• Mapping 'Who is doing What and Where' (3W) using activity and location features
• Analyzing funding trends for development activities using financial data links
• Categorizing aid efforts by humanitarian vs development activity types

Strengths

• Adheres to the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) standard
• Covers both humanitarian and development activity types
• Includes 3W (Who is doing What and Where) metadata tags

Limitations

• Specific record counts and column headers are not explicitly defined in the source metadata
• Financial data is hosted externally on d-portal.org rather than within the CSV
• Reliance on self-reporting by aid organizations can lead to reporting lags
