Classifications
Definition
Within the IATI activity standard it is expected that classifications information is provided for any iati-activity
Namely:
sector
- the thematic catgory (or set of categories) aniati-activity
operates with
Additionally, the following classifications enable the publication of various codes (often associated with CRS++ reporting)
policy-marker
collaboration-type
default-finance-type
default-flow-type
default-aid-type
default-tied-status
Considerations
When using the IATI activity standard to declare documents, the following should be considered:
An
iati-activity
can have singlular or multiplesector
When multiple
sector
are described, then a@percentage
should be declared for each. All reported sectors from the same vocabulary should add up to 100%.A
vocabulary
can be declared when describing asector
. This must be on theVocabulary
codelist.If no
vocabulary
is declared, then the DAC 5 digit codelist is assumed.A
reporting-org
can declare their ownvocabulary
, via using the RO (Reporting Org)Vocabulary
code.Multiple or singular
policy-marker
can also be described. Unlikesector
, there is no@percentage attribute
to add.The classifications of
default-finance-type
,default-flow-type
,default-aid-type
anddefault-tied-status
apply to the wholeiati-activity
. These can be overridden within a singletransaction
via using any offinance-type
,flow-type
,aid-type
and/ortied-status
.If an activity is either wholly “tied” or “untied” it is recommended that the appropriate
default-tied-status
code is used.If an activity is “partially tied” it is recommended that the reported commitment/s are split into “tied” and “untied” amounts and
tied-status
is reported attransaction
level. (NB that tied status should be reported for commitments only.)When using
policy-marker
and thePolicy Significance
code 4 (Explicit primary objective) - this SHOULD ONLY be used in conjunction withPolicy Marker
code 9 (Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health)
