Benefits of using IATI Publisher

IATI Publisher enables organisations to publish data on their development and humanitarian activities according to the XML format required by the IATI Standard. The tool is designed to be simple and intuitive, making publishing easier for organisations and bringing a range of benefits for users.

IATI Publisher:

• Is free to use;
• Provides clear explanations of data fields in the IATI Standard, together with links to useful guidance;
• Enables data to be entered directly in the interface or bulk uploaded via Excel, CSV or XML file;
• Runs automatic checks (via the IATI Validator) for errors before publishing data, with feedback on corrections.

Who is IATI Publisher for?

IATI Publisher has been built to support small to medium sized organisations (or those with only a limited number of activities) to publish data on their development and humanitarian work. An ‘activity’ is an individual project or other unit of development and humanitarian work, as determined by the organisation that is publishing the data.

Large organisations, such as donor governments or UN agencies delivering 100+ activities, are advised not to use IATI Publisher. Alternative technical solutions are recommended for the publication of large volumes of data. For more information, please contact us.
