The text in this element must be of type xsd:string.

This value should be on the Language codelist.
The narrative child element can be used to declare freetext for the recipient-region element.
Note: Both the recipient-region and recipient-country elements still allow both a @code and descriptive text to be specified. This is to cover the isolated cases where the organisation publishing the data may not agree with name of a country or region given by the lookup codelists IATI uses. Example not shown.
The narrative element can be repeated for any language additional to the default language set in iati-activity, by using the @xml:lang attribute. Example not shown.
The recipient-country element was introduced in 2.01.
