Abstract:

The key component of the International Aid Transparency Initiative IATI is the IATI standards, which provide a technical publishing framework that allows data on international aid activities to be compared.1 Organizations must comply with IATI standards to publish their aid information in IATIs electronic format in Extensible Markup Language XML and link it to the IATI registry. The registry then acts as an online catalogue and index of links to all the raw data published to the IATI standards. IATI standards are designed to be used by organizations in development, including government donors, private-sector organizations, and national and international nongovernmental organizations.2
