.recipient-region
- geopolitical region (above the country level) that will benefit from theiati-activity
.location
- a geographical location of theiati-activity
.
In addition, the following can also be utilised:
activity-scope
- to classify the geographic coverage of the theiati-activity
.

code must be used.When describing the
recipient-region
the relevantRegion
code must be used.It is possible to have multiple
recipient-country
in aniati-activity
It is possible to have multiple
recipient-region
in aniati-activity
When declaring multiple
recipient-country
orrecipient-region
then apecentage
must be declared. These must sum to 100%.If a
recipient-country
is known, then arecipient-region
is not expected.If a
recipient-country
is not known, then arecipient-region
is expected.The free-text instances of
name
anddescription
inlocation
should avoid use of text in CAPITALS.The
activity-scope
element should only be used once. It must use a relevantActivityScope
code.
