Core Information
10. Sector
Survey question
Does the DFI disclose the sector of the activity?
Does the DFI disclose the sub-sector of the activity?
Definition
The sectors of the activity explain whether this is, for example, a health or education project. It does not count if it is just mentioned incidentally within the title or description. It needs to be stated separately and explicitly.
For the sub-sector, the DFI should use an identifiable sub-sector or code from a recognised standard. For instance, OECD DAC CRS Purpose Codes and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). For OECD DAC sector codes it must by 5 digits to be a sub-sector, and for NAICS it must be 3 digits or more.
Additional definitions and notes
If projects are presented by sector on an organisation’s website, it must be clearly stated whether the organisation works only in those sectors that are listed.
