The Pacific Aid Signal reads five sources every twelve hours. But reading data and having current data are not the same thing. This page shows how old each funder’s records are, country by country. Green means the funder published something dated within the last 90 days. Red means the newest record is more than a year old. Empty means the funder has no recorded activity in that country.

Who is publishing current data
Asian Development Bank — $5.6B across 13 countries, data within 51 days
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade — $3.6B across 14 countries, data within 49 days
UNICEF — $783M across 2 countries, data within 51 days
Who is not
These are among the largest funders by lifetime spend in the Pacific. Their data is more than a year old, which means the 90-day picture on each country page is missing their current activity entirely.
Australia Aid — $9.5B across 11 countries, newest record 478 days old
Australian Aid — $1.2B across 3 countries, newest record 2304 days old
UN Pooled Funds — $467M across 4 countries, newest record 1390 days old
AidData — $446M across 3 countries, newest record 4676 days old
Green Climate Fund — $438M across 12 countries, newest record 399 days old
World Bank Trust Funds — $331M across 7 countries, newest record 2000 days old
What this means
When a funder’s data goes stale, their spending disappears from the 90-day picture — not because they stopped spending, but because they stopped publishing. The Signal’s 90-day figures for any country are therefore a lower bound: they show what has been reported, not what has been spent. The gap between the two is largest where the biggest funders have the oldest data.
For Australia, the single largest bilateral funder in 9 of these 14 countries, the newest IATI record is dated 30 June 2025. That is why the Signal reads DFAT’s business notifications directly: they are the only source that says what Australia is doing now.
