Netherlands, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Overview
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for Dutch development cooperation policy and management. It was a founding member of IATI in 2008 and first published IATI data in September 2011.

This agency chose not to participate in the 2026 Aid Transparency Index accreditation process. It has been included so that the Index continues to rank and apply advocacy pressure to the world’s largest aid and development agencies. It was subject to the same assessment and scoring approach as those agencies which participated in the accreditation process. More details of the approach are given in the FAQs section. Publish What You Fund only provides a full profile, including recommendations and a detailed breakdown of indicator scores, for those agencies that have undergone the full accreditation process.
