Interactive
The Southeast Asia Aid Map data interactive tracks $290 billion in aid and development finance across 130,000 projects from 2015-2023. The dataset is the most comprehensive regional aid dataset of its kind, combining publicly available data with open source research.
Access the only complete dataset on official development finance in Southeast Asia. We bring together data from dozens of sources, including partners who don't publish publicly, making it possible to understand who's funding what across the region.
Reveal patterns and compare contributions by the major players in Southeast Asia’s development. Filter by donor, recipient, sector, or time period to see how development priorities have shifted over time.
Get comprehensive country profiles with project level granularity, that don't exist anywhere else. Each profile summarises all development finance flowing into that country, with filters for climate, gender, and disability finance to reveal what matters most to your analysis.
Delivered by leading experts who specialise in Southeast Asian development and regional economics.
