Yes, this is an issue with the data being provided by publishing organisations. I don't think this is something for AidView to code around, but something for the team in Aidinfo to go back to publishers with.

I'll raise this as a call in http://bntest.vm.bytemark.co.uk:8080/trac/report/1 if colleagues from AidInfo agree

I've also raised this in an email to Clare Maclennan at DFID in response to another enquiry.
