Créer vos fichiers de données

To prepare your IATI data files, you can either:

• Use a publishing tool or service, or
• Build an automated system to generate XML from internal data.

The IATI Standard defines how to structure and format your data. You’ll need to create two types of data file: an Activity File and an Organisation File. See our Standard overview for details on what to include.

Checking your files before publishing

After creating your files, check for errors and preview how your data will appear to users.

• d-portal file checker - upload your IATI activity file to see a visualisation of the data.
• IATI Validator - use the validator to confirm that your files meet IATI rules.

Ensure your XML files are under 40MB. Larger files should be split - by country, region, or date - with each activity appearing in only one file.

Publishing your IATI files

See Publishing your files for information on how to publish your data files. Note that it is important to publish without access restrictions.

Correcting and updating your files

If you find an error in your published IATI files, you can correct and republish it. For in-house publishing processes, errors may stem from incorrect data or faulty XML structuring.

IATI reporting requires regular updates. Always edit your existing files rather than creating new ones or deleting data. IATI tools will detect the changes automatically.
