International Aid Transparency Initiative

IATI is a global initiative to improve the transparency of development and humanitarian resources and their results.

IATI encourages governments and organisations to publish information about their spending and projects according to IATI's open data standard. The IATI Standard is a set of rules and guidance for publishing useful development and humanitarian data. Once published, this data is free and open for anyone to access online. To-date, over 1000 organisations have published data on the spending of over on

e million development or humanitarian activities. They include donor governments, multilateral agencies, development finance institutions, foundations, NGOs and private sector organisations. IATI is managed by a Secretariat led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), together with staff from the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and Development Initiatives (an international development organisation). The initiative is funded and governed by its members representing governments, and development and humanitarian organisations across the world.

Today, IATI brought together government representatives from partner countries for a workshop to review early findings of 𝘐𝘈𝘛𝘐’𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘔𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘜𝘴𝘦 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.

The assessment looked at 𝟯𝟳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟮𝟳 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 to inform the tracking and monitoring of development cooperation.

The draft assessment reviews countries' readiness to use IATI and other development cooperation data across 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

🏛️ 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 – government commitment and policy alignment
💻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 – staff skills in data management and analysis
⚙️ 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Aid Information Management System (AIMS) functionality and IATI integration

💰 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 – budget, staffing and IT infrastructure

Huge thanks to the government representatives who shared their perspectives on country priorities, challenges and opportunities for strengthening their use of development data.

All feedback will inform the final report, which will be 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, and help shape IATI’s future country engagement under the 𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲–𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟬.

The IATI Standard is at the heart of new proposals developed by MAPME to strengthen project location data for development cooperation.

The IATI Secretariat recently joined a MAPME Working Group for a workshop exploring proposals to help governments, development partners and humanitarian organisations better understand 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲.

Led by 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁 (𝗞𝗳𝗪) and coordinated by 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 (𝗠𝗔𝗣𝗠𝗘), the Working Group presented proposals for:

📍 Richer and more consistent project location information
🌍 Improved interoperability through enhanced code lists and geospatial references
🤝 A phased approach to evolving the IATI Standard through community consultation and evidence
📊 Better data to support coordination, accountability and decision-making across development and humanitarian finance

The Working Group included representatives from KfW, the World Bank Group, IFAD, WFP, ADB, IDB, AfDB, AFD, OCHA and the IATI Secretariat.

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗣. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁, 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽, said: "For years, the World Bank Group has been improving how it maps and understands where its projects are implemented: precise project location data is fundamental to designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating how we work. The IATI and MAPME Project Location Standard organises and refines the development community's varied data collection efforts and leads to improved project management and donor coordination. We are excited to be a part of this initiative and look forward to its continued improvement and implementation."

𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗖. 𝗔. 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗶, 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗙𝗔𝗗, said, “For IFAD, participation in the MAPME working group has been a valuable opportunity to contribute to and learn from a community of practitioners working to improve project location data. The initiative highlights the benefits of common standards in supporting more effective monitoring, analysis and collaboration.”

The discussion reinforced an important principle: strengthening an open standard is a collaborative process. As the proposals move forward, the IATI Secretariat looks forward to continuing to work with the MAPME community and IATI members to test, refine and implement practical improvements to project location data.

💬 Thank you to everyone who joined yesterday's 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝘼𝙏𝙄 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙖 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 consultation for civil society organisations and NGOs.

The discussion brought together publishers and data users to explore new proposals to improve the measurement of IATI data quality. The changes aim to help organisations better understand and improve their data, while making IATI data more useful, transparent and user-centred for everyone who relies on it.

Opening the session, IATI Executive Director Yemesrach Workie highlighted the vital role that civil society organisations and NGOs play in strengthening transparency and contributing to a more complete picture of development and humanitarian finance.

During the session, Mark Brough presented proposals for a new IATI Data Quality Dashboard. They are designed to provide publishers with real-time feedback, clearer priorities for improving data quality, and a more user-centred approach based on 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

The discussion generated valuable feedback on topics including:
🔹 Proportionate timeliness expectations for organisations of different sizes
🔹 Capacity building, training and publisher support
🔹 Practical improvements to publishing tools and guidance
🔹 Using the IATI Dashboard to strengthen transparency, peer learning and data use

All across the constituency welcomed the proposed dashboard and its user-centred approach, recognising its potential to support publishers with practical, evidence-based feedback while helping build greater trust and confidence in IATI data.

A huge thank you to everyone who shared their insights and experiences. Your feedback will help shape the next iteration of the framework as we continue working towards a new data quality dashboard that better supports the entire IATI community.
