Perceived Needs Online tutorials on IATI data use 1. Continuous hands-on training 2. User-friendly tools to use raw data 3. Continued data quality improvement 4. Data made available in official government languages 5.

Recommendations Multilingual publication of IATI data 1. Quarterly publication (preferably monthly) 2. Investment in usability of core IATI tools for accessing data 3. Creation of FAQs and data narratives for each IATI publisher 4. Raise awareness within DP country offices of IATI publication process 5. Creation of how to guides for analysis 6.
