I'd post this in the UN-only group but I'm hoping to hit a wider audience here. We get funding from United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC). UNOSSC is hosted by UNDP and does not have a unique identifier in the OCED-DAC channel code list nor is it an IATI publisher. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what org id should be used for them? For the moment we've put in UNDP's publisher ID.
Hi Michelle, ILO's interpretation of the organization roles (https://iatistandard.org/en/iati-standard/203/codelists/organisationrol…) as per the IATI standard is as follows: if we disburse the funds to an implementing partner we play the Extending (3) and Accountable (2) roles and if we spend them ourselves then we have the Implementing role (4). Of course there are activities where we do both then we would indicate all 3 roles under participating org (e.g. https://d-portal.org/ctrack.html?reporting_ref=XM-DAC-41302#view=act&ai…).
I don't think there is an assumption in the standard that in the absence of a stated implementing organization role, the reporter plays that role. Hope it helps !
Michelle Levesque maybe just suggest UNOSSC to become a publisher, all solved isn't it?
For some reason, Riza isn't able to post in Connect but he did let me know that UNDP publishes UNOSSC as part of the UNDP file. So no new ID needed even with an extension. The UNDP publishing number is sufficient. If it helps users, IOM will use the UNDP reference but the narrative will have the UNOSSC name just as we publish ministry names for governments with the same publisher ID.
