ICGFM DC Forum - November 5, 2014
Successes and Challenges of USAID Payment Reform Implementation in Liberia
International Consortium On Governmental Financial Management (ICGFM)
DC Forum Luncheon
Our Speaker:
David Colvin
President and CEO, IBI International
Hear about how a
USAID-funded project is establishing a mobile money payment system for the
Government of Liberia, creating five pilot projects in various Liberian
Ministries that have the potential to save $6 million. David Colvin, CEO of
USAID’s implementing partner IBI International, will talk about the successes
and challenges of working with this West African government to introduce
cost-saving payment reform. By maximizing the benefit of the extensive
penetration of cell phones through rural and urban communities, mobile money
has the potential to save time and money for governments, the private sector,
and those receiving the payments.
Our Speaker: David Colvin is
a development practitioner with long experience in US development assistance
policies and procedures. As President
and CEO of IBI, Mr. Colvin guides the firm’s partnering and new business
initiatives, and provides strategic and operational leadership for a range of
public financial management projects.

Shedding Light on Foreign Aid
Makes for Better Financial Management
International Consortium On
Governmental Financial Management (ICGFM)
DC Forum Luncheon
Nancy McGuire Choi and Brad
Parks
Co-Executive Directors, AidData
· Learn about the
comprehensive AidData 3.0 data portal
· Hear about pioneering efforts
to track Chinese development finance to Africa
· Learn how TUFF
methodology impacts public financial management experts in countries benefiting
from significant amounts of non-Western development finance
AidData
makes development finance information more accessible and actionable by
creating data, decision support tools and knowledge products that enable the
global development community to more effectively target, coordinate, and
evaluate aid. With AidData 3.0, development researchers and practitioners are
now able to compare data on over $40 trillion in remittances, foreign direct
investment, and aid from 90 donor agencies. Private foundation grants and
domestic public expenditure from developing countries will also be added in the
coming months. AidData also works with a variety of development finance and aid
management institutions to provide custom data solutions, including mobile and
web applications, and research, training, and advisory services.
During
this presentation, AidData will demo the AidData 3.0 platform (including its
GIS module). AidData has developed an open-source data collection and
triangulation methodology, The Tracking Under-Reported Financial Flows (TUFF),
to help analysts, journalists, policymakers and transparency advocates better
understand China's role as a non-Western supplier of development finance in
Africa. The resulting treasure trove of data is publicly available at china.aiddata.org and
captures over 1900 Chinese grants, loans, technical assistance programs, debt
relief schemes, export credits, and state-sponsored investment activities.
Our Speakers:
Nancy Choi is the
Co-Executive Director of AidData, and is the Senior Director of Operations at
Development Gateway, responsible for the management and strategic direction of
DG's programs in over 30 countries. Nancy has extensive experience
leading aid management projects and working with governments and donors around
the world. Previously, Nancy monitored and responded to natural disasters and
humanitarian emergencies for USAID.
Brad Parks is Co-Executive
Director of AidData and Research Faculty at the College of William and Mary's
Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations. He previously
administered the Millennium Challenge Corporation’s annual country selection
process. He is also an author of several

and practice.
