Data Quality

IATI, the International Aid Transparency Initiative started in September 2008 in Accra, is now open for business! In July 2010 the first decisive step ahead was made by the IATI Steering Committee, who adopted the standards for the first implementation phase. By now also the beta version of the registry for aid data is online and functioning, so that donors can upload data and thereby make it more accessible to a wider audience. The Worldbank, UNDP and DFID have been among the first to uploaded data. But also data from the Global Fund, the Netherlands and Spain can be found in the registry. The goal of IATI is for most signatories to publish some data via the registry until the next High Level Meeting in Busan in 2011.
