The IATI documentation says that you have to report the country that benefits from the activity as the “recipient-country.” I have come to understand that when a report is being written in the Netherlands about the status of migrants in an African country, that country should be reported as “recipient-country.” However, I have two cases where it is a little less obvious who the recipient-country should be:
-
Imagine an activity where migrants move from ODA-country A to non-ODA country B. Which country(ies) should be reported as “recipient-country”?
-
Imagine an activity where Syrian refugees receive humanitarian aid in a refugee camp in Turkey. What country should be reported as “recipient-country”?
Thank you for your replies. Yohanna Loucheur both your answers make sense to me and I will keep this guidance in mind when reporting.
Indeed, I agree that it would be beneficial if the guidance on this became clearer for everyone in the IATI community and not just clear for CRS reporters ( = donors who report to DAC?), especially given that more humanitarian organizations are starting to report to IATI.
