Hi all! My name is Anna, I am a senior IATI consultant at Data4Development. We are supporting multiple organisations with publishing in IATI and improving their data quality.

It is good to see this community growing and we are eager from D4D to contribute with our expertise. 

I am specifically interested in the discussions going on regarding the guidelines, because there are certain challenges that we encounter for our clients which have more to do with policy and the balance between being transparent and pragmatic.  

Also looking forward to how we can increase the use of IATI data after it is published so it seems like less of a black box for organisations :)

Hope to hear from you if you have any thoughts on this or would like to know more about our work!

Welcome to all new members who joined in the last few days! We've noticed that you had to put in a request to join, before you get in. That seems to be a bug. Everyone is welcome so we don't intent to put in that extra safeguard. We're working on fixing that.

Hi everyone!

In the webinar that took place on the 7th of June, a recommendation was made to start a discussion on how alliance partners should publish for the POV/AVJCA activity where more than one alliance partner is responsible for delivering at a country level. Will publishing be the responsibility of the lead alliance partner? 

 

Thea Schepers
Thea Schepers Moderator

Hi Clinton, welcome! I hope it will be a useful programme for you.

In principle, each alliance partner which is part of the proposal should publish their own IATI data. Sometimes an exception is made for small partners if it would mean too large a chunk of their time and budget. 

If there is discussion among the partners about this, perhaps the lead can contact us on helpdesk-opendata@minbuza.nl to discuss further.
