IATI Recognised in Final Draft of UN Financing for Development (FFD4) Outcome Document

The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) has been included in the final Outcome Document of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), marking a major milestone for transparency in development cooperation.

At today’s 3rd meeting of the Fourth Preparatory Committee (PrepCom4) in New York, UN Member States reached consensus on the final draft of the Compromiso de Sevilla and recommended the text for adoption at the FfD4 Conference, taking place from 30 June to 3 July 2025 in Sevilla, Spain.

This is a significant achievement for IATI and the broader aid transparency movement. The inclusion of IATI in the outcome document reaffirms the initiative’s vital role in promoting open, accessible, and interoperable data as a foundation for more effective, accountable, and coordinated development financing.

IATI was last referenced in the 2015 outcome document: Addis Ababa Action Agenda (FfD3). Its inclusion in the 2025 document signals continued global recognition of the importance of transparency in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), closing the financing gap, and reforming the international financial architecture

IATI extends its sincere thanks to all the Member States, IATI’s members and supporters who advocated to secure this outcome.
