The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)

What is IATI?

The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) is a voluntary, multi-stakeholder initiative that seeks to improve the transparency of aid, development, and humanitarian resources. IATI brings together donor and recipient countries, civil society organisations, and other experts in aid information who are committed to working together to increase the transparency and openness of aid. Over 1500 organisations now publish their development and humanitarian spending to IATI.
