  • System Name: USAID Portfolio Map
  • System Description: Map depicts the locations of USAID-funded projects to better monitor development results, improve aid effectiveness and coordination, and enhance transparency and social accountability. The map depicts the total number of unique projects at the administrative one boundary level (i.e. region, state, province). For example, a Global Health project may operate in several provinces within a country, in which case it will be given a count of one in each of those provinces. A project count will not be given to a province if that project does not operate there. National projects are depicted across all administrative one boundaries to show the impact of where the work is taking place.
