Definition

The iati-identifier element is used in both Activity files and Organisation files, and has a slightly different meaning depending on where it is being used, and should not be confused.

This should be in the form of the IATI Organisation Identifier (for the reporting organisation) concatenated to that organisation’s activity identifier. (NB. Two or more reporting organisations may publish information on the same activity.)
