2. FIRST: THE BIG PICTURE
OBJECTIVES TRANSPARENCY STRATEGY
1. BUILD ON OUR REPUTATION OF TRUST
2. CREATE OPPORTUNITY FOR CO-CREATION & SHARING
3. PUBLICATION POLICY: OPEN UNLESS…
3. 2 TRACK APPROACH
PRINCIPLE: WE ARE CONTENT PROVIDER NOT AN ICT DEVELOPER
1. Visualising our project data in an accessible format on our website
2.
Publish the data in a machine-readable, worldwide accepted standard

4. WHY
IATI IS A TOOL NOT A GOAL
•
It’s a widely accepted standard -> leverage , big donors are already there
•
It’s a platform for publication -> audience and part of a bigger movement
•
It’s build on shared knowledge and codes -> it more or less suits current systems
•
It’s continuously developing -> open for improvement
AND…..
Side effect: implementing the standard appeared also a tool for cleaning up our system

5. WHY
TRANSFORMING PROJECT INFORMATION TO COMMUNICATION
•
It’s open source
•
It’s a platform -> audience, part of a bigger movement
•
It’s build on the principle of making project information accessible for everyone to read and enjoy
•
It has extra’s:
• the project update stream
• activation tools
•
Speed on innovation because of motivation and independance
BUT…..
•
It was not integrated with our PMS system

7. SINGLE SOURCE, SINGLE ENTRY
BUILD ON THE PRIMAIRY PROCESS
1. Program officers enter project data like always

Just change the requirements and add restrictions to standardise
Creates ownership on content and accountability towards partners
No interpretation by communication department
2. Stick to the standard project management process

•
•
No extra workload
Just more disciplined, structured and demand for conscious of publication
Advantage: it’s being used!
3. Adjust the PMS system to the IATI standard

•
•
Use the standard as a guideline -> less discussion
Make it realy user friendly
Make choices on reported information -> clean up!
