How do I link my activity to my funder?

Publishing the links between you and your partners creates what we call network transparency: making the entire chain between funding organisation(s) and various levels of implementing organisations visible.

To achieve this – rather than publishing isolated datasets – it is important to clearly define the relations between organisations and activities. In IATI this is done primarily through activity identifiers.

Your funder should be able to provide you with their activity identifier to reference. This activity identifier should be included in your IATI data each time you reference your funder:

• Transactions: in ‘incoming fund’ or ‘incoming commitment’ transactions (as the ‘provider activity identifier’)

• Participating Organisations: when listing your funder with role = “Funding”
