From the Introduction
The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) is a key element of the agreed, common,
open standard for the electronic publication and reporting of timely, comprehensive and forward looking development cooperation information. The common standard was called for in the Busan Partnership Agreement1 and further defined by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and IATI and reflected in the agreement endorsed by the final meeting of the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness in June 2012.
This common standard consists of three complementary systems and processes: the OECD DAC Creditor Reporting System (CRS), which contains comprehensive historical statistical information; its Forward Spending Survey (FSS); and IATI.
Since the original IATI Accra Statement in 20082, IATI has already gained significant momentum. This accelerated before and following the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness3, which produced the Busan Partnership agreement.
Outside of the DAC membership, IATI is also used by many international and local NGOs, as well as several foundations, private companies and other development actors to report data on their activities.
