CORDAID & OPEN DATA NOVEMBER 8, 2013 OPEN DEVELOPMENT CAMP
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

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
