IATI Activity
Definition
Within the IATI activity standard. the iati-activity
is the building block to describe aid.
An iati-activity
represents a distinct grouping of information that reports various facts of an aid activity.
A human-readable title and description for an iati-activity
can be provided using:
title
- a short, human-readable title.description
- a longer, human-readable description.
Considerations
When using the IATI activity standard to declare an iati-identifier, the following should be considered:
Every
iati-activity
must have a globally uniqueiati-identifier
Publishers can decide on how best to structure and segment their organisation data around
iati-activity
Publishers can decide to utilise the
hierarchy
attribute to represent subdivision of units of aid.A publisher can set a default language and
default-currency
, that is then used throughout theiati-activity
. This can be overridden in subsequent elements however.The
last-updated-datetime
date must change whenever the value of any field within the associatediati-activity
is updated.It is recommended that the
title
should be concise and jargon-freeA
description
can have different focal points, by using the appropriateDescriptionType
codelistThe free-text instances of
title
anddescription
should avoid use of text in CAPITALS, where possible.Both the
title
anddescriptions
can be repeated for different languages.When an
iati-activity
is being implemented in arecipient-country
where the official language is different to that of thereporting-org
it is recommended that activitytitle
anddescription
are provided in all officialreporting-org
andrecipient-country
languages
