A reminder of the Busan commitment Paragraph 23 (c): 'Implement a common, open standard for electronic publication of timely, comprehensive and forward-looking information on resources provided through development co- operation, taking into account the statistical reporting of the OECD-DAC and the complementary efforts of the International Aid Transparency Initiative and others. This standard must meet the information needs of developing countries and non-state actors, consistent with national requirements. We will agree on this standard and publish our respective schedules to implement it by December 2012, with the aim of implementing it fully by December 2015.'
IATI input into HLM2 zero draft Summary of points: 1. Transparency is a success story for GPEDC 2. The outcome document should acknowledge that a much wider range of development actors are now publishing their data to the IATI Standard, illustrating the benefits of a multi-stakeholder approach. 3. While IATI has played a key role in improving the supply of data on development cooperation, it is the use of that data, especially at country level, that has the potential to be truly transformative in terms of development outcomes.
Key considerations for Members 1) Input into HLM2 GPEDC - what do Members want to see in the outcome document on IATI/transparency? 2) WHS follow-up - what plans do Members have for implementing the Grand Bargain commitment to IATI? What role should IATI play in monitoring this? 3) Identifying other opportunities - what other global, regional or national events do members think IATI should prioritise over the next 12 months ?
