15. Experiences
It's about organisational change
– Start from use cases and benefits
– Integrate in workflows and systems
– Drives quality improvements
Questions of NGOs
– Cost, privacy and security, will it be mandatory?
IATI standard and fields not really an issue, but:
– But better documentation and guidelines needed (e.g. which
organisation is the funder?)
– And better quality data (e.g. identifiers)

16. Pilot: Sharing results in IATI
Early stage
– Conversation with stakeholders
– Exploring needs and benefits
Practice: Sharing within one consortium
– Adding more identifiers to enable linking
– Working with existing tools and indicators
Research: Replacing reporting requirements
– Current reporting not “actionable”
– How to include useful indicators
– How to offer freedom in choosing indicators
