How can Swedish bi- and multilateral development cooperation be visualized?
The Swedish Agency for Development Evaluation (SADEV) maintains a database with time series data on Swedish bi- and multilateral aid allocation.
Using Gapminder bubble graphs, and free tools from IBM, we’re illustrating some aspects of this data in “Gapminder Labs”:
Gapminder Labs: Visualizing Swedish development aid
The illustrations help answer questions such as:
- How does Sweden allocate resources to UNDP and other UN organizations over time?
- How much of the development cooperation by SIDA is allocated to Education?
- … and within Education, or any other sector, which countries and regions are the main recipients?
I’d like to thank Hans Rosling for his talk at the “Öppna Biståndet” seminar last Wednesday with the Aid Minister Gunilla Carlsson. A remarkable man that created remarkable “sexy” stats that can actually speak to each woman and man on earth.
“Bringing sexy back….to stats!” should be written on Hans Roslings businesscard. The Justin Timberlake of statistics!
More power to you, and keep up with incredible work that you’re doing.
Best regards,
