Organisations
Definition
Within the IATI activity standard organisations can be declared in three ways:
reporting-org
- the organisation publishing the activity file and associated data.participating-org
- the organisation that has a role within the activity (there can be various roles)provider-org
/receiver-org
- the organisation in providing or receiving a specifictransaction
Considerations
When using the IATI activity standard to declare organisations, the following should be considered:
In many cases, an activity file will contain information from the perspective of a single organisation. Most commonly, this will be the same as the
reporting-org
It is also expected that this organisation would be cited as a
participating-org
, along with their associated role(s).It is possible for multiple
participating-org
to be reported within a single activity.Multiple
participating-org
with the sameOrganisationRole
code are also feasible.For
reporting-org
andparticipating-org
inclusion of theOrganisationType
code is recommended.In all cases, when describing an organisation, reference to their associated unique identifier should be included.
Should a
provider-org
orreceiver-org
within atransaction
be the same as thereporting-org
it is not expected that they are declared, but recommended.
Further Guidance
Please also consider and refer to the Organisation Identifiers guidance when constructing an appropriate identifier.
