description	In the aftermath of major humanitarian crises, whether caused by natural disasters or conflicts, the international community is increasingly pledging larger amounts of aid to help rebuild devastated regions. At the same time, recipient agencies are called upon to increase the level of accountability and transparency to ensure that the resources they manage are well spent. Large amounts of funding to handle, the need for greater accountability and the increased pressure to improve aid effectiveness intensifies the necessity for reliable information. A tracking system to monitor reconstruction expenditures should monitor all stages of post-crisis reconstruction financial flows, from the initial stage when donors pledge money to actual budget appropriations, and finally to the tracking of disbursements on actual projects.
