IATI Training

WHY YOU NEED IATI TRAINING AND HOW TO START

For many organisations, publishing in IATI is a prerequisite for funding, but they don’t know where to start. Data4Development has supported dozens of organisations, in the Netherlands and internationally, to take their first steps in understanding and working with IATI. We help them meet their donor obligations, but also move beyond that.

Publishing on IATI proved to be a very practical and efficient way when reporting for a project’s overall description, implementation and progress. In fact, we had experienced minor complications at first, but with the support of the team we managed to familiarize ourselves with the platform and successfully publish our project’s achievements.

Thus, the training was necessary and proved to be very useful as we are now well equipped when using IATI. Hopefully we can transform this experience to thereby use IATI as a reporting tool within our institutions.
