What information can be found on the IATI Dashboard?

The IATI Dashboard provides public charts and metrics on all IATI data published by organisations (referred to as ‘publishers’). You can look at the data for an individual publisher, or for all IATI publishers.

There are four key sections in the IATI Dashboard:

  1. Headlines – this contains graphs and charts about the total number of IATI publishers, files and activities published since 2014. It is useful for answering questions such as ‘What is the size, scope and scale of IATI data?’
  2. Data quality – this highlights technical errors in organisations’ publishing. These could include download errors, issues with XML formatting and inconsistent or incorrect use of unique identifiers. It is useful for answering questions such as ‘What unique identifiers has an organisation used more than once?’
  3. Exploring data – this explains what different organisations are publishing, with information on individual data elements, attributes and codes. It is useful for answering questions such as ‘Which organisations are publishing SDG Indicators at results level?’
  4. Publishing statistics – these tables compare how organisations are meeting the Key qualities of IATI data in their publishing. They also provide an overview of what you can expect to find in an organisation’s data. This section is useful for answering questions such as ‘What else could I add to my publishing to make it more useful for data users?’

How does the IATI Dashboard work?

The IATI Dashboard is managed by the IATI Secretariat. It analyses published data via the IATI Registry daily.

The Dashboard aims to present data on organisations’ publishing to IATI in a useful format. This is predominantly metadata, such as how many files are failing validation and which parts of the IATI Standard are being used. Whilst you can use it to check how many organisations are publishing results data, for example, you cannot use it to check whether that results data is meaningful.
