Within the IATI activity standard. the iati-activity is the building block to describe aid.
An iati-activity represents a distinct grouping of information that reports various facts of an aid activity.
A human-readable title and description for an iati-activity can be provided using:
title - a short, human-readable title.
description - a longer, human-readable description.
When using the IATI activity standard to declare an iati-identifier, the following should be considered:
Every iati-activity must have a globally unique iati-identifier
Publishers can decide on how best to structure and segment their organisation data around iati-activity
Publishers can decide to utilise the hierarchy attribute to represent subdivision of units of aid.
A publisher can set a default language and default-currency, that is then used throughout the iati-activity. This can be overridden in subsequent elements however.
The last-updated-datetime date must change whenever the value of any field within the associated iati-activity is updated.
It is recommended that the title should be concise and jargon-free
A description can have different focal points, by using the appropriate DescriptionType codelist
The free-text instances of title and description should avoid use of text in CAPITALS, where possible.
Both the title and descriptions can be repeated for different languages.
When an iati-activity is being implemented in a recipient-country where the official language is different to that of the reporting-org it is recommended that activity title and description are provided in all official reporting-org and recipient-country languages
