Data4Development were knowledgeable, pro-active and committed. They have really supported us on our IATI journey and are a lovely team of people to work with. Thank you for your expertise and positive attitude!
IATI is helping Trócaire meet our aspirations regarding accountability and transparency. Data4Developemnt helpud us to recognise the potential of IATI and supported us on our journey with practical steps to publish our data to the IATI Standard.
I would like to thank the D4D team for the quick and continuous support! I have never worked on IATI before and you made it an easy and simple task. You remained available for answering all the questions and you were very flexible and open to explain several times IATI requirements and how to fill in the data.
The pleasure was all mine working with D4D remotely, they kept on checking the quality of data and provided feedback accordingly. Also, the training provided by the D4D team at our premises was very helpful, informative and practical. Thanks again for your support.
D4D installed the Spreadsheet2IATI converter and a Data Quality Checker at Aidsfonds. This allows us to easily publish our large project portfolio in IATI. The team was capable and thought along with us to provide us with what we needed.
Without a doubt the team from Data4Development enabled Concern Worldwide to achieve data transparency on all DFID grants. Until we brought Maaike and the team on-board, we struggled to understand the data structures required to upload data to the IATI Registry. The whole project took a huge leap forwards towards completion with their help.
Data4Development helped us to properly structure our IATI publications and set us on the right path for growth with our Regional Offices publishing independently.
D4D helped us out in a good and professional way when we were looking for an efficient solution to making our Caritas Europa mapping system IATI compatible earlier this year. With their vast IATI experience and understanding of the international NGO sector, D4D immediately understood what our needs were as a European -, and global NGO network. It has been a really smooth cooperation process and I highly recommend D4D!
With the Spreadsheet2IATI converter D4D offers a great product. We got to know D4D as a reliable partner with a thorough knowledge of IATI and IT. D4D thinks along with you and responds quickly to questions.
The collaboration with Data4Development went very well. They definitely had a custom approach which adjusted to the needs of our alliance and responded quickly to our questions. It was difficult at first to navigate through our extensive data, but in the end we were happily surprised that the job was done relatively quickly.

Reporting in IATI increasingly becomes a comparative advantage.
If you receive funding from the UK Department for International Development (DFID) or the Dutch or Belgian governments, you are required to publish your activities in IATI. We see other donors moving this way as well.
Use IATI to show that your organisation is committed to international aid transparency and effectiveness as well as to adapt to a changing environment and ready for a data-oriented future.
Use the IATI Standard as your organisation-wide data model to link and aggregate data from project-level to organisational/management level. IATI allows you to bring together both finance and results in information in one Single Source of Truth. We have seen that IATI can be a driving force for enhancing your organisation's information management processes towards data-driven decision making.
Use IATI to communicate progress and share insights about projects with external stakeholders and audiences through interactive visualisations. Use IATI data to enrich your website and to make project information easily accessible. Using IATI Standard as the central data standard in consortia or partnerships allows your organisation to collaborate more easily as information can be easily exchanged and aggregated.

We are active in the international IATI community on both the strategic and technical level.
We are part of the IATI Member’s Assembly and our CFO takes part in the IATI Technical Working Group.
We have worked over 30 organisations on IATI, for instance:
Last week, Data4Development gave a training on the use of IATI on data transparency, equipping 9 non-profits organisations from the UK with all the skills one’s need to start publishing on IATI. The training was organised by the Scotland’s International Development Alliance. We interviewed Laura Ffrench-Constant to get more insights about the perception of IATI within her organization.
From 10 years ago when it started in the Netherlands to where we stand today, 1,059,495 activities were published by over 1250 organisations around the world. More and more countries commit to publishing in #IATI and the number of open #aid #data portals are on the rise. Many aid data events where IATI plays a role happened lately as the Day of Transparency of the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) and the KfW virtual conference on Remote Management and Monitoring.
More resources and funding is going to the Global South than ever before. Funders like the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and FCOO (previously DfiD) have agreed that, for increased transparency, publishing to IATI is part of the contractual obligation when receiving funding. Many more donors are supporting the IATI initiative. But if you…
In addition to the fact that more NGOs are becoming publishers, we see a growing number of Private Sector Companies who are now publishing in IATI. We have recently started supporting one of them, the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), who is an innovative infrastructure development and finance organisation delivering pioneering infrastructure in the poorest…
As we wrote previously, IATI is rapidly scaling up! In recent years the initiative has grown from around 380 publishers at the start of 2016 to 1200 as of August 2020, with over 100 new publishers joining in the last half year alone. This is a great development and shows the value of IATI as…
