Register your interest in joining IATI’s Consultation to inform new guidance on how to publish IATI data that enables traceability.
Why is traceability important?
Being able to trace the flow of development and humanitarian funds is critical for understanding complex delivery chains and assessing whether resources are actually reaching intended beneficiaries. While it is currently possible within the IATI Standard to publish data that enables this traceability, IATI does not have a consolidated guidance for publishers on how best to use the IATI standard to ensure traceability. Not having clear guidance also makes it difficult for users to use and analyse IATI data, for instance ensuring that resources are not double counted when conducting analysis.
Consultation launch: Wednesday 31 March
Building on prior work on traceability, the IATI Secretariat is launching a consultation to inform new guidance on how to publish data using the IATI Standard, that allows you to trace the flow of funds throughout the delivery chain of published data. We invite the IATI community to take part in this consultation by reviewing the draft guidance, providing inputs, and joining an upcoming webinar to discuss the draft. This consultation is open to all in the IATI community and we particularly invite data users to join the conversation so that the guidance that results would lead to the kind of traceability that data users need in their data.

Hi Evgenia Tyurina ,
I noticed in your feedback you mentioned org ID finder doesn’t list ILO. I’ve investigated, and have written up the explanation for this here:
https://github.com/codeforIATI/iati-data-bugtracker/issues/21
Org ID finder relies on the data publishers provide in their organisation files. In this case, there are some stray quotation marks causing problems.
Hope that helps,
Hi Andy Lulham
Thank you very much for checking this and letting us know!
