What aid is being provided to developing countries around the world?
OECD
The OECD is one of the world’s largest and most reliable sources of comparable statistics, and economic and social data.
We partnered with a Vancouver-based development company called 2Paths to deliver an application that provides the user with one-button access to rich data about aid-flows between the reporting countries. We simplified the task by shielding the user from the complexity of the data structure behind the application, and yet providing the expert user with ways to fine-tune the report and it's layout.
I managed an initiative for a large private foundation that aimed at improving access to the OECD's extensive data sets. The effort was complex both technically (providing users with one-button access to rich data about aid-flows between the reporting countries) and logistically (with stakeholders located in Vancouver, Seattle and Paris, and active users around the world). DesignStamp was responsible for user research, business requirements gathering and designing an application that would meet user needs while also complying to complex data rules. DesignStamp was a pleasure to work with, methodical in their ability to conduct user interviews with professors, students and aid recipient organizations around the world. Also I appreciated their skills in diplomatically working with international stakeholders, extracting objective business requirements and helping drive project vision. Their interaction and visual design skills helped us deliver a project that has been immensely successful. I would highly recommend DesignStamp as a partner in any interactive project and hope to work with them again in the future.Ganga Subramanian, Senior Associate Point B Inc (Project Manager for the OECD project)
