Monitoring aid

While browsing Reuters I came across an ad for their Tsunami aid tracker, which tracks how well donor nations are delivering on their promises to countries hit by the Boxing Day Tsunami. It's quite interesting, and good to see that serious media organisations are doing their bit to ensure that donor nations keep their promises.

For the record, it looks as if most countries are close to delivering on their pledges, with the "laggards" being countries who pledged funds for long-term reconstruction, rather than countries which are simply ignoring their promises.
