Statistics on Public Expenditures for Economic Development (SPEED)
The Statistics on Public Expenditures for Economic Development (SPEED) is a user friendly tool that provides the most comprehensive and publicly available data source for information on public expenditures. The latest version of SPEED contains information from 10 public expenditure sectors in 147 countries from 1980 to 2012. The sectors include agriculture, communication, education, defense, health, mining, social protection, fuel and energy, transport, and transport and communication. The data is compiled from multiple sources, including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and national governments. Extensive data checks and adjustments have been conducted to ensure consistent spending measurements over time that are free of exchange-rate fluctuations and currency denomination changes.

Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI)
The Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) database provides high-quality, up-to-date datasets on agricultural R&D across the developing world. ASTI works with a large network of national collaborators to collect, compile, and disseminate information on financial, human, and institutional resources at both country and regional levels across government, higher education, nonprofit, and (where possible) private for-profit agricultural research agencies. ASTI fulfills a unique role in supplying the necessary information to promote an understanding of the status and direction of national agricultural research systems in developing countries.
