The European Union and its Member States are committed to implementing by 2015 a common, open standard for electronic publication of timely, comprehensive and forward looking information on financial assistance to third countries. This commitment was one of the outcomes of the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan in 2011.
The standard should take into account the statistical reporting of the OECD DAC, as well as the complementary efforts of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) and others.
DG NEAR is committed to improving its standards on aid transparency and to that end has put together an implementation schedule which is published on this site.
DG NEAR has been publishing its data into the IATI Registry since September 2013. Relevant activity and organisation-level information is updated monthly
and can be found on the corresponding Registry website.
The performance of key representatives of the donor community worldwide is ensured through the:
• IATI Annual Report
• Publish What You Fund Aid Transparency Index (ATI)
• Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation Progress Report
