Track IATI Reporting Data with Amp Impact

The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) is an initiative that works towards providing transparency regarding aid, development, and humanitarian resources. Organizations use the IATI Standard to collect and report on data for their internal reporting and for external stakeholders. 

...

• The Organisation XML Standard: The Organisation Standard talks about an Account/Organisation’s basic details and finances. It is also used to report links to relevant public documents. Organisations publish this data in an Organisation XML file. It is expected that every organisation publishing IATI data should include one Organisation file, which is updated at least annually.

• The Activity Standard:The Activity Standardis more detailed with information from a Project/Activity, its transactions, indicators, targets and actuals, etc. Organisations publish this data in an Activity XML file. It is expected that every organisation publishing IATI data should include one at least Activity file. An Activity file can detail one or many activities, and an organisation can publish one or many files.

...

Amp Impact supports the download of an XML for both Organisations and Activities.
