This article presents a global database of government contracts funded by the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and EuropeAid, principally from the years 2000-2017. The contract-level data were directly collected from the official contract publication sites of these organisations using webscraping methods. While the source publication formats are diverse both over time and across publishers, we standardized and harmonized the datasets so that they can be analysed jointly. The datasets contain key information on the contracting parties (e.g. buyer and supplier names) the contract's content (e.g. contract value and product description) and details of the contracting process (e.g. contract award date or the procedure followed). In addition, it also contains information on the development aid projects of the contracts (e.g. project title and value). The data has wide reuse potential for researchers looking for detailed micro-level information on how major development aid spending takes place and what impacts it has. This database underlies the research article "Anti-corruption in aid-funded procurement: Is corruption reduced or merely displaced?" [1] which develops corruption risk indicators using the dataset presented.
本文展示了一个由世界银行、美洲开发银行和欧洲援助计划资助的政府合同全球数据库，主要涵盖2000年至2017年期间。合同层面的数据是通过网络爬虫方法直接从这些组织的官方合同发布网站收集的。虽然源发布格式随时间推移和不同发布者而各不相同，但我们对数据集进行了标准化和统一处理，以便能够联合分析。数据集包含有关合同方的关键信息（如买方和供应商名称）、合同内容（如合同价值和产品描述）以及合同签订过程的详细信息（如合同授予日期或遵循的程序）。此外，它还包含有关合同发展援助项目的信息（如项目名称和价值）。对于寻求有关主要发展援助支出如何发生及其产生何种影响的详细微观层面信息的研究人员而言，这些数据具有广泛的重用潜力。该数据库是研究文章《援助资助采购中的反腐败：腐败是减少了还是仅仅转移了？》[1]的基础，该文章使用所呈现的数据集制定了腐败风险指标。
