The Aid Reporting and Information Management Unit (ARIMU) is functioning within the Aid Management Directorate as repository of information on development assistance, and reports on the achievements, failures and challenges of the aid management agenda in Afghanistan.
ARIMU is the point of contact for the government Development Assistance Database (DAD) to closely supervise the entry of data and to update the information for generating reports, charts and tables for donors, media and public information purposes. The ARIMU also serves as the liaison between donors and Finance Ministry/AMD on the DAD to help donors to understand DAD and enter the information when required. The ARIMU ensures timely collection, tracking and dissemination of aid information on a project level through effective utilization and maintenance of the DAD, which aims to improve quality and coordination of activities among donor agencies and with the line ministries by accurately capturing aid information.
ARIMU staff assists in the preparation of the Development Cooperation Report (DCR), which is being published annually for distribution to donors, stakeholders, governments, international financial and economic development institutions and the public. The unit is also responsible for publishing the ‘Aid and Budget” quarterly newsletter.
