Editor's Notes
- In addition to using word of mouth and community postings to publicize when participatory budgeting assemblies were to happen, ICT4Gov sends SMS messages directly to households in the community announcing when and where the meetings would take place. Citizens are able to use their mobile phones to vote via SMS on what priorities they would like to see addressed in their community. Community leaders use SMS to announce voting outcomes. This has served to promote transparency and squelch misleading rumors. Finally, mobile phones are being used as monitoring and evaluation tools. Using SMS citizens are able to provide feedback in totally new ways about the projects being implemented.
- A number of systems and databases for reporting and capturing data on development cooperation already exist. A lot of information on development cooperation is already available, but is very problematic to use. This is because many systems tend to be producer, rather than user, oriented. This means that: N.B. Select 2 or 3 of the most relevant elements to present, not all. Data in different formats makes it difficult to mash up different data sets with each other. It can take a lot of time and effort for data users to find where information is kept. Data is often out of date, meaning that relevant, timely analysis and use of data is a challenge. Different systems use different vocabularies, definitions and measures of data making it difficult to compare between different datasets. Data can be inconsistent, with different elements or fields being reported or not reported. Data is not accessible from one single source, and must be searched for in different locations. Forward-looking development data is essential to support developing country governments in, but most data that is currently available is only reporting past activities and not planned, forward-looking ones. Existing data sets often don’t provide data from organisations beyond traditional bilateral and multilateral donors meaning the picture of development provided by the data is not comprehensive.
- IATI has been designed to ensure that data is published in a user-centric way. At the beginning, IATI held consultations with government and civil society stakeholders from over 70 partner countries, about their information needs. The consultations confirmed that the priority needs were for timely, up-to-date and reliable information on current and future development cooperation. They also stressed the need for better coverage, including information from non-traditional providers, such as foundations, NGOs and technical cooperation providers. Taking this on board, IATI was designed in a particular way that enables all organisations to: N.B. Select 2 or 3 of the most relevant elements to present, not all. Publish in the same format as other organisations so it is easy to combine data sets from different organisations. Update their data on a monthly, quarterly or six-monthly basis, to ensure information is as up to date as possible. All different kinds of development cooperation providers to publish data – the standard is flexible, and we are working with different organisations all the time to make this easier. Publish in one central location. The IATI Registry provides links to the data published by all organisations using the IATI Standard. Provide, where possible, forward-looking information on their development project – this is particularly vital for developing country governments, who need this information to enable a more comprehensive and budgeting and national planning process. Publish in the same format, to enable easy comparison of data from many different kinds of organisations.
- A diverse group of organisations and individuals demand IATI data for a variety of purposes. Partner country governments are one of the potential users of IATI data. When a country receives large volumes of development assistance, detailed information on current and future cooperation is essential to enable governments to generate budgets and national plans with a clear picture of all the resources coming in from different places. Taxpayers in countries whose government’s provide development cooperation from their budget want to know how their tax money is being spent, and that it is being put to its best use. Civil Society Organisations around the world need information on development cooperation to enable better monitoring of development resources, and to have the right information that they can use to hold governments and assistance providers to account for the way they spend resources. The media and journalists want the data so that they can investigate how development resources are applied and what impact they are having.
