Reporting Organisation
Definitions
The reporting-org element uniquely identifies the organisation providing the information. A reporting organisation may provide information on its own activities, as well as reporting on behalf of other organisations involved in the delivery of aid.
Files can only be submitted to the IATI Registry by a reporting organisation that has authorised access to the registry. In other words a reporting organisation specified in an IATI data file must match an authorised publisher in the Registry.
