Congratulations to Lebanon, who this week became the twentieth endorser of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI).

By endorsing IATI as a partner country, they have approved the IATI Accra Statement, hardening the commitment made in the Accra Agenda for Action that asks donors to provide regular, detailed and timely information on their aid. IATI is recognised as the international common standard for sharing this timely, comprehensive and comparable aid information.

Lebanon is the twentieth partner country to endorse IATI. There are five months to go until Busan and we hope countries will continue to endorse IATI in the lead up to the forum.
