This lack of transparency creates significant hurdles for the entire ecosystem. For aid organizations, it means heavy administrative burdens related to compliance and manual reconciliation. For policymakers and donors, a lack of clear visibility can lead to concerns over fraud or corruption, which in turn can trigger devastating cuts to vital aid programs.
The Algorand Foundation is working to solve this issue with the Aid Trust Portal. By leveraging the power of Algorand’s mature, public blockchain, we make humanitarian aid flows visible, interactive, traceable, and verifiable in real time.

tldr; The Algorand Foundation has introduced the Aid Trust Portal, a blockchain-based platform designed to enhance transparency and efficiency in humanitarian aid distribution. By leveraging Algorand’s public blockchain, the portal enables real-time tracking of aid funds, reducing fraud, administrative burdens, and compliance challenges. It features a user-friendly interface for visualizing fund flows and integrates with Elliptic for enhanced security. The portal is already in use by partners like HesabPay and Mercy Corps Ventures, aiming to rebuild trust and accountability in the aid sector.
