📢 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘆: 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆

Thank you to the UN agencies, IATI members and partner-country colleagues who joined our Phase 2 consultations on the future of IATI data quality. The conversations were rich, candid and expert — and it continues online.

We're proposing a user-centred IATI Data Quality Dashboard, built on existing IATI tools, to help users see what data they can rely on — and help publishers see what to improve first.

✅ Clear categories: good / very good / excellent
✅ New Coverage and Availability dimensions
✅ A sharper view of timeliness and comprehensiveness
✅ Country and sector views, designed around how people actually use data

Your input is shaping this.
