IATI revisited
Learn from your peers & IATI experts on working with the standard and how the standard can work for you.
Since the introduction in 2016 of the IATI standard by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, quite a number of Dutch NGOs started to explore and learn on the possibilities of the use of (IATI) data. This quest has led to a number of interesting showcases on data informed decision making and use of IATI data that we would like to present during the event.
We hope to have you as our guests at the IATI learning event on the 22nd of March 2018. The Spindle (the innovation platform of Partos) and Data4Development are now ready to present the programme to you.
Programme
In the age of ever increasing presence and use of data, development CSOs can profit from this trend in various ways. The essential question is how to build on reliable data to be able to show the impact your organization is making? And how to do this as efficient and effective as possible?
The program will be as follows:
