1: IATI Standard

Develop and agree a common, open standard for the publication of aid information - the IATI standard (www.iatistandard.org) which includes agreements on what to publish, common definitions and formats for publication, and a Framework for Implementation

Other Information:

The new standard builds on existing agreements and definitions, including the Creditor Reporting System of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC). It provides comparable classifications and definitions so that citizens, governments, parliamentarians and people working in the development community can find out: * how much money is being provided * when it was, or is, due to be spent? * where the money will be spent * how the money will be spent * what the funds are expected to achieve.

Stakeholder(s):

• Citizens


• Governments


• Parliamentarians


• Development Community


• Participating Donors: Participating donors adjusting their existing processes for collecting information about their aid expenditure in order to publish more information, more quickly, in this common, open format. This will enable IATI to meet the needs of a much wider range of stakeholders. Donors choose their own systems for collecting and publishing information. A new central registry makes it possible for people to find information quickly and easily because it points users to where the information they need has been published.
