Background

As a CONCORD flagship report, AidWatch has monitored the quantity and quality of EU Institutions’ and EU Member States’ Official Development Assistance (ODA) annually since 2005. 2025 is a special year for AidWatch: the report will celebrate its 20th anniversary in an extremely challenging context for international cooperation, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and ODA, globally and in the EU.

– Assess the quantity and quality of EU ODA.
– Hold the EU institutions and national governments accountable towards their ODA commitments, the cuts and the coherence of international cooperation.
– Adapts its narrative and analyses given the shift in the EU’s paradigm for international cooperation.
– A team of consultants with sound expertise in data analysis, statistics and international cooperation policies is drafting the AidWatch 2025 report. The report will be launched in Brussels in mid-October 2025 and will continue to be a digital tool, with improved visuals and graphs.

Objective

In collaboration with the team of consultants drafting the AidWatch 2025 report, CONCORD members and CONCORD Secretariat, the data visualisation consultant will develop data visualisation tools to make the AidWatch 2025 report more accessible to the broader public and visually engaging.

– Deliverable 1: Based on data featured in the AidWatch 2025 report, develop data visualisation tool(s) such as interactive graphs, infographics and two-pagers visualising key data to represent in a visually engaging manner key findings of the AidWatch 2025 report.
