Published purpose

This grant represents Canada's institutional support to the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). IATI uses these funds, along with other donors' funding, to achieve its objectives. IATI aims to make information about spending on international aid easier to access, use and understand. Donor countries, developing country governments and non-governmental organizations who have signed on to IATI commit to publishing more timely, comprehensive, and forward-looking information on international development assistance. IATI has developed a common, open, international standard for publishing this information. This grant supports the IATI Secretariat, which maintains the IATI Registry and website; facilitates technical discussions related to the IATI standard, data publication and use; assesses progress on open aid data; and provides technical support to publishers and users.
