Yemesrach A. Workie , Executive Director of IATI:

“When we can clearly identify and reference every actor, we unlock new levels of accountability, efficiency, and impact.”

💡 IATI’s new analysis maps 17,000 organisations. Standardised references = clarity.

✅ Transparent delivery chains
✅ Stronger accountability
✅ Better coordination

#OpenData #transparencymatters #AidInMotion

🌍 How do we make every aid organisation visible across delivery chains?

At today’s #AidInMotion Dialogue, we explored a central challenge: there’s no single global list of all orgs in aid & development.

🌍✨ Today at #UNGA, IATI’s Transparency 2030 roundtable spotlighted how open data drives trust, effectiveness & accountability.

Reps. from Malawi, UNICEF, Germany (BMZ), UNFPA, Gates Foundation & Publish What You Fund shared why good data is key to impact 🔎🎉

🔑 The solution: publishing organisation references.

Standardise organisation references ensure we’re talking about the same org. This makes relationships more visible across delivery chains.

The IATI Secretariat presented:

🧩 The challenge: there’s no single global list of all the organisations involved in development & humanitarian work. The same org may appear under different names, acronyms, or languages — or be listed multiple times.

🌍 Today’s State of the Data Dialogue revealed new IATI analysis mapping 17,000 organisations across global delivery chains.
