This is the reference page for the XML element policy-marker.
A policy or theme addressed by the activity. This element was designed for the reporting of OECD DAC CRS policy markers (columns 20-23 and 28-31 of the CRS++ reporting format) but the vocabulary attribute allows it use by other (including local) systems. This element can be repeated for each policy marker.
This element may occur any number of times.
An IATI code for the vocabulary to be used to define policy markers. If omitted then the OECD DAC vocabulary is assumed.
