ONE Data and Rockefeller Foundation to Launch New Development Finance Observatory in 2026
The platform integrates fragmented data on aid, debt, and private finance, revealing a 124% rise in multilateral development bank financing since 2020, officials said.
- On Jan. 27, 2026, ONE Data announced the `Development Finance Observatory`, funded with US$4 million from Google.org and The Rockefeller Foundation and built using Google's Data Commons.
- Facing declining international funding, the Development Finance Observatory aims to reduce data fragmentation and improve accountability so policy-makers can track flows and maximize impact this year.
- Data shows multilateral lenders boosted net financing by 124%, with private long-term external debt from private sources falling from 19% to 1% of net flows.
- Using natural-language queries, users will access all aid, debt, and private finance data integrated by ONE Data, supported by $3 million from Google.org and Prem Ramaswami's statement on the 'data backbone'.
- This `Great Reversal` signals China shifted from transferring $48 billion to extracting $24 billion, while Africa experienced a $52 billion swing from receiving $30 billion to paying out $22 billion.
