Many thanks to all those who took the time to comment on the discussions. Summaries of the discussions below will be available below on Friday 8th of March, 2019. We thank all our Moderators for facilitating the discussion and synthesising the outcomes.

From the 4th to 18th of March, IATI will hold a survey on data use as the next phase of the consultation to develop the IATI Strategic Plan. To learn more about IATI, visit iatistandard.org.

With IATI recently celebrating its ten-year anniversary, this online consultation is an opportunity to spark dialogue around essential priorities for the initiative’s next three years. Anticipating the next generation of partnership and data needs, your responses will help IATI to ensure it responds to the rapidly-evolving development finance, open data and transparency agendas, to increase the use of development cooperation data. 

You may wish to read through two background documents prepared for this consultation (an external and internal scanning paper). These papers examine the current international cooperation and open data landscape, as well as IATI’s progress and achievements since its inception in 2008, and may be useful tools to inform your participation in the consultation.

Please feel free to comment in as many threads, and respond to as many or as few questions, as you like. Though the consultation will largely be hosted in English, comments in French and Spanish are also welcomed. You may also submit contributions to [email protected] to be posted on your behalf, should you encounter any connectivity issues.

 

1. Should IATI do more to engage with actors such as South-South Cooperation providers, climate financiers and the private sector? Are there other actors or processes that IATI should engage with, and if yes, what will it take to engage them?

  • If the scale of strategic partnerships broadens to incorporate emerging development actors, how will this impact IATI’s governance structure? What institutional changes should be considered to ensure that IATI is inclusive, responsive, and fit-for-purpose?
  • The scale of strategic partnerships would also impact current IATI’s business model (membership fee-based). What considerations and measures will be needed to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of IATI?
  • How can we persuade publishers to become members?

2. How can IATI’s outreach be improved to contribute more to the ongoing discussions in the data for development space, including the open data for sustainable development movement?

3. Given the evolving international development landscape, where should IATI’s primary outreach focus be placed over the next 3-5 years?  Are there specific regions, sectors or audiences that should be prioritised? How can they be reached / involved?
