I’ve been speaking to the START Network who are starting to publish IATI data soon. They receive funding from multiple donors e.g DfID, MFA, Save the Children UK etc, which goes into a pool of money available for quicker-release humanitarian response agencies.
We’ve been looking at the Flow Type Codelist. Which one would be suitable for humanitarian response? Is it still ODA? What if they are receiving funds from national donors and NGOs alike?
Any thoughts welcome. Happy to clarify if needed.
Thanks,
Daniel
In our trainings we advise to use code 30: “Grants made by NGOs and other civil society organisations (e.e. philantropic foundations) based in the reporting DAC country”.
Maybe good to know: the first draft guidelines from the Dutch MFA do require flow type to be specified. The draft guidance note:
Feedback welcome of course, the guidelines are not final yet.
Thanks Wendy, thanks Rolf, it’s good to get the different perspectives.
We’re having ongoing chats with START Network and other humanitarian response org, and quite a few issues are coming up. I’ll wait to hear more ideas on this topic before making a recommendation.
