===== OpenAid =====

The idea of this project is to visualize financial flows data on Swiss foreign aid. In a study about transparency of foreign aid by an NGO last year, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC only received 25 out of 100 points (http://www.20min.ch/schweiz/news/story/28918275). How much money goes to foreign aid from the public and the private sector, where does the money come from and where does it go? And how much of your tax money is used on foreign aid? Let's make this data transparent, by using great visualizations!

The project is still work in progress, the live version can be seen at http://www.openaid.ch/. To see where the project is going, please refer to the following mockup:
