IATI Standard Version 1

Technical Paper (Formats and Definitions)

The Standard is the product of over 2 years’ work by IATI, a group that includes some of the world’s largest donors such as the World Bank and the UK Department for International Development (DFID), 18 recipient governments and civil society organizations.

Now that the Standard has been defined and published, donors must use it so we can begin to see where aid money is going, and the impact it is having.
