| Abstract | The inconsistencies between locally-defined regional groupings and the standard Common Exchange Format for Development Activity Information (CEFDA) groupings affects the way in which development information is used. Relevant information may be overlooked in the course of a search or attempts to find all information related to a region may retrieve a large amount of irrelevant information. Some users are finding it difficult to adapt to the groupings recommended in the CEFDA format. This paper proposes changes in the CEFDA format and to the DAI CD-ROM that will improve access to development information using regional groupings. |
