A pull request has been received from Andy Lulham to bring the CRSChannelCode codelist in line with that published by the OECD DAC.
A summary of changes is as follows:
Codes added:
11001Central Government11002Local Government11003Public corporations11004Other public entities in donor country12001Central Government12002Local Government12003Public corporations12004Other public entities in recipient country43006Catastrophe Containment and Relief Trust47143Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund47144International Renewable Energy Agency60000Private sector institution61000Private sector in provider country61001Private bank in provider country61002Private exporter in provider country61003Private investor in provider country61004Other non-bank entity in provider country62000Private sector in recipient country62001Private bank in recipient country62002Joint-venture in recipient country62003Other non-bank in recipient country63000Private sector in third country63001Private bank in third country63002Private non-bank in third country90000Other
Code withdrawn:
50000Other
Note that 11001-11003 refer to the donor government, whereas 12001-12003 refer to the recipient government. This isn’t clear from the titles, so should probably be amended.

It should certainly go through WP-STAT.
And instinctively I would add that this is probably not best solved by adding text to specify what the code means, it is rather an issue of finding a common way to use the hierarchy. We need to maintain the ‘category’ parent-relation, and not just a flat list. Thus this issue should also include the deprecation of our current ‘Organisation Type’ list.
Dear all,
Throughout the list, the first 2 digits refer to the parent category. Nowhere in the list the parent category is repeated in the title of the categories or names within the parent category.
See for example:
21000
21053
2015
IPAS-Protecting Women’s Health, Advancing Women’s Reproductive Rights
IPAS-Protecting Women’s Health, Advancing Women’s Reproductive Rights
100
B01
You have to be aware the 21 refers to international ngo to know that 21053 is the channel code for the INGO IPAS. The same applies to all multilaterals, who have their channel code as IATI identifier. Here, you have to be aware that 41 stands for United Nations agency, fund or commission (UN) to understand why WHO has 41307.
41000
41307
2015
WHO-Assessed
World Health Organisation - assessed contributions
OMS-obligatoires
Organisation mondiale de la santé - contributions obligatoires
76
931
B02
In some rare cases, organisations, after having received a channel code, have shifted form one parent to another. Eg:
51000
47051
2015
ICARDA
International Centre for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas
ICARDA
Centre international de recherche agricole dans les zones arides
100
B01
Where ICARDA original was categorized under parent 47 World Bank, they are now under 51 Research Institute. Of course, for historic reasons channel codes are not changed.
OECD/DAC should make available a machine readable codelist on channel codes and maintain it. In the excel version of the OECD/DAC source codes they already include the parent category in the first column and the category code is in the second column. So they are already providing what you are looking for, except that it is not repeated in the name.
