FOIA |
|
|
The definition used in the Global RTI Rating is that it has to be a law in the strict sense, it must include the right of access to information, this right has to be enforceable and there must be complaint, court and high court appeal possibilities. Decrees are included if they meet the same standards. In addition, the FOIA must be in use for at least the executive part of the government; therefore, FOIAs which are only adopted, approved or still in draft form are not counted. For multilateral donors, international finance institutions (IFIs) and private foundations, a disclosure or transparency policy is accepted as equivalent to a FOIA. Publish What You Fund completes an assessment of the quality of these disclosure policies based on the overarching approach taken in the Global RTI Rating. |

Implementation schedules |
|
|
The Busan Partnership agreement required schedules for implementing the common standard to be published by December 2012. Publish What You Fund conducted an assessment of the schedules completed by development providers and submitted to the OECD common standard implementation website. Schedules are scored on the level of ambition shown by organisations in implementing the IATI component of the common standard. The complete assessment can be found on Publish What You Fund's Aid Transparency Tracker website. IATI implementation schedules are also accepted.

Commitment |
Accessibility |
|
|
The overall accessibility of aid information through the organisations' portals, project databases or searchable data sources. These are scored using three criteria: 1) the portal allows free, bulk export of data; 2) it contains detailed disaggregated data; 3) the data is published under an open licence. If a portal allows bulk export through its API but not through its web-user interface, this is accepted as allowing free, bulk export of data. Data sources are the organisations' own aid portals, publicly accessible databases or websites - accessed in that order. The portal or database must include information on current activities for the countries or sectors the organisation is working in rather than just one individual country/sector. It should contain information on at least five of the activity-level indicators, at least one of which should cover financial information. The same data source is used for all three checks. For example, if the aid portal does not state that the data is published under an open licence, this will not be checked elsewhere on the organisation's project database or website. If the organisation's website is the data source then it cannot score on the "free bulk export" criterion. If a portal allows bulk export through its API but not through its web-user interface, this is accepted as allowing free, bulk export of data.

Organisation strategy |
|
|
An overarching strategy document explains the general approach and policies of the organisation towards international development. This should be forward looking. For organisations whose primary mandate is not development, a document clarifying that its overarching development strategy is accepted. This information needs to be forward looking. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Institutional strategy paper (document code = B02). |

Annual report |
|
|
Annual reports outline basic (normally aggregate) information about how aid was spent in the previous year, broken down by sector and/or country. This should be backward looking. Annual reports which are up to date within their regular cycle, i.e. the organisation publishes an annual report a year behind, the most recent document within this time frame are accepted. To score for this indicator, the annual report needs to include details of where the organisation is spending its resources and the information needs to be forward looking, i.e. cover current activity period. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Annual report (document code = B01).

Allocation policy |
|
|
Aid allocation policies are the detailed policy documents by which the organisation chooses where to spend its resources, i.e. on which countries or themes rather than others. Relatively general documents or web pages outlining which countries, themes and institutions the agency will fund are accepted, as long as this is forward looking and not wholly retrospective. For organisations such as IFIs and private foundations which do not have an "aid allocation" policy, equivalent documents are accepted; for example, "investment strategy/policy" or "grant-making policy". The IATI reference for this indicator is: Aid allocation policy (document code = B04). |

Procurement policy |
|
|
An organisation's procurement procedures explain the process used to tender and contract (invite bids for) goods and services. This must fully explain the criteria on which decisions are made, and could be in a single procurement policy document or attached to each tender. For IFIs which are often demand-driven, this is understood as their investment policy. For private foundations, this is their grant making policy. For organisations that do not undertake procurement related to aid projects (e.g. if procurement is undertaken by grantees or other implementing agencies), a statement explicitly clarifying this is required, as well as the overall policy for procuring goods and services at the headquarter level. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Procurement policy and procedure (document code = B05).

Country strategy |
|
|
A country strategy paper sets out the organisation's planned approach and activities in the recipient country. For it to be accepted it needs to be a detailed document, rather than just a paragraph on the organisation's website. For organisations such as IFIs, philanthropic organisations and vertical funds which may not have country-level strategies, mid-level documents between organisation and activity-level are accepted, e.g. thematic or sectoral level documents. If the organisation follows the strategy of a parent or related organisation, a statement clarifying this is needed on the website along with a link to the relevant strategy document. Similarly, if the organisation supports a country-led or developed strategy, this must be explicitly stated on the website and the link to the relevant strategy document needs to be provided. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Country strategy paper (document code = B03).

Total budget |
|
|
The total organisation budget is the total amount that the organisation will be allocated by the government or its funders per year for the next three years. This is money going to the organisation and can be indicative. Each year ahead is worth one third of the total possible score for this indicator. Aggregate budgets of between 2-3 years will be scored the same as 1 year forward budgets. IFIs and DFIs do not have budgets allocated to them as traditional aid agencies do. In many cases, total budgets are established annually, once total financial figures of all investments are taken into account. However, they do have projected total spend figures that they sometimes publish. If published, these projected figures are accepted for this indicator. Similarly, for private foundations and humanitarian agencies, indicative figures of available funds are accepted. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Annual forward planning budget (total-budget).

Publication - organisation |
Disaggregated budgets |
|
|
The organisation's annual forward planning budget for assistance is the disaggregated budget that the organisation or agency will spend on different countries, programmes and institutions per year, for at least the next three years. The figure could be indicative. Scores are awarded on the basis of the number of years (up to three years) for which organisations are publishing budget information. Each year ahead is worth 33.33 points out of a total possible score of 100. Aggregate budgets of between 2-3 years will be scored the same as 1 year forward budgets. Both country budgets or thematic budgets are accepted for organisations that prioritise their work by countries. Projected figures disaggregated along thematic and sectoral priorities, at a near similar level of detail to total organisation budgets are accepted. IFIs and DFIs sometimes publish "road maps" which contain this information. The start and end date for forward budgets are calculated based on organisations' fiscal years for information collected via the survey. Budgets need to run up to a minimum of December 2018 to score for 'three years forward'. Organisations at the end of their fixed budget cycles and therefore without a published budget for the next three years do not receive points for this indicator. Forward Spending Survey data reported to the OECD DAC is taken into account only if it is available for the specific organisation under assessment. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Annual forward planning budgets for recipient countries (recipient-country-budget).

Audit |
|
|
The organisation's annual audit of its activities is an official inspection of the accounts and activities of this organisation, typically by an independent body. Audits up to date with regular audit cycles are accepted, i.e. if the organisation publishes biennial audits, the most recent document within this time frame is accepted. A formally approved audit of annual accounts is required to score on this indicator. Audits conducted by official government agencies such as State Audit Offices or Controller General Reports are accepted for this indicator. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Institutional audit report (document code = B06).

The implementer of the activity is the organisation which is principally responsible for delivering this activity. This information may not be available in all cases due to "legitimate exclusions". For example, humanitarian agencies may not be able to reveal who the implementing agencies are due to security reasons. Such exclusions are accepted but need to be explicitly stated (in order to distinguish these from cases of simple omission).

The activity identifier is a unique reference ID for the activity, e.g. a project number. It allows an activity to be referred to and searched for by a code, which can be used to retrieve the project from a database or filing system. The project ID must be stated clearly on the page. It is not sufficient if it is only stated in the URL. It must be numeric or alpha-numeric. The IATI reference for this indicator is: IATI identifier. |

The planned dates are the dates that the activity is scheduled to start and end on. If there are one set of dates but they are not explicitly planned or actual dates, given that these are for activities which are current (i.e. being implemented at the time of data collection) it is assumed that they are planned dates. Both month and year are required to score on this indicator in recognition of recipient countries needing to be able to map activities to their own financial year rather than the calendar year. If the activity has started or has finished, the original planned start and end dates must be retained in addition to the actual dates in order to score on this indicator.

The tied aid status shows whether the organisation states that this activity counts as "tied" (procurement is restricted to the donor organisation country) or "untied" (open procurement). Specifying location requirements in activity documents such as procurement policies or tenders is accepted as publishing tied aid status. For organisations' lending directly to national investment agencies, an explicit statement demonstrating their aid is not tied is required. For IFIs and DFIs, investment codes clarifying their position are accepted. For private foundations, grant-making policies are accepted. If these are not available, the organisation's procurement policy must clearly state if there are any eligibility requirements for contracts based on country of origin. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Default tied status.

Evaluation documents consider what the activity achieved, whether the intended objectives were met, what the major factors influencing the achievement or non-achievement of the objectives were and an assessment of the impact, effect and value of the activity. This information may be on a specific evaluation section of the organisation's website. If the activity under assessment is not completed but evaluation documents are available for other completed activities, the organisation can score for this indicator. Not all organisations carry out evaluations for all of their activities. Organisations can score on this indicator as long as they publish evaluations within their regular evaluation cycles, i.e. the organisation publishes country evaluations every three years, the most recent documents within this time frame are accepted. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Review of project performance and evaluation (document code = A07).

This is a specific budget detailing what the intended spending is for the different lines of the individual activity. It is often a document published on the organisation's website. Budget documents cannot simply be at the country level. If an activity budget is included in a larger country-level document, it is only accepted if the budget for the activity is broken down line by line. For organisations where budget documents might be considered commercially sensitive, documents with redactions of the commercially sensitive pieces of information are accepted but the specific reasons for the redactions need to be explicitly stated in detail and must clarify why the information is commercially sensitive and would cause material and direct harm if published.

Contracts |

The individual contract(s) which is signed with a company, organisation or individual that provides goods and services for the activity. This could be on a procurement section of the organisation's website, on a separate website or on a central government procurement website. Contract documents cannot simply be at the country level. If an activity contract is included in a larger country-level document, it is only accepted if the contract mentions the activity specifically and in detail. Basic information about the activity contract is accepted if it contains three of the following five information items: awardee, amount, overview of services being provided, start/end dates, unique reference to original tender documents. This indicator is retained for all organisations in the Index. In cases where organisations consider such information to be commercially sensitive, sections within the contract can be redacted but the reason for the redactions needs to be explicitly stated. Due to the difficulty in checking contracts manually, rather than looking for the specific activity and the contract linked to it, a review of the organisation's overall contracts will be completed in line with the organisation's procurement policy. For vertical funds, equivalent documents are accepted, such as approved country proposals or agreements between the recipient and the funder.

For private foundations, calls for grant submissions are accepted. For humanitarian agencies, documents that provide guidance on securing funding are accepted. Due to the difficulty with manually finding tenders linked to current activities, rather than looking for the specific tender, a review of the organisation's overall calls for tenders will be completed to check it is publishing them consistently and in-line with their procurement policy. For organisations that do not issue tenders related to aid projects (e.g. if procurement is undertaken by grantees or other implementing agencies), a statement explicitly clarifying this is required.

Budget |
|
|
The budget of the activity is the breakdown of the total financial commitment to the activity into annual or quarterly chunks. In order to score for this indicator, the budget for at least the next year ahead (i.e. until 31 December 2016) or until the end of the activity - whichever is sooner - should be available. For organisations where this may be deemed as commercially sensitive information, total estimated cost of fund/grant/loan amount is accepted or sections within a document can be redacted. The specific reasons for the redactions need to be explicitly stated in detail and must clarify why the information is commercially sensitive and would cause material and direct harm if published. The weighting of the indicator has not changed but it is more rigorously measured in 2016 for IATI publishers (information published to IATI is scored higher than information published in other formats). Providing annual forward budgets will allow an IATI publisher to score up to half the total available data quality points, while a quarterly breakdown for the first year ahead will enable them to score the remaining half. This change has been made in recognition of recipient countries needing to be able to map activities to their own financial year rather than the calendar year. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Budget or Planned Disbursement.

Disbursements and expenditure |
|
|
Individual actual financial disbursements must be related to individual activities and must be on a per-transaction basis. Each activity is likely to have several transactions. While such information might be considered to be commercially sensitive by some organisations, Publish What You Fund's view is that actual expenditure information is less sensitive once the money has been spent. Hence all organisations are scored on this indicator. For IFIs and DFIs, the total fund/loan amount is accepted and details of the loan repayment costs and related charges can be redacted. The specific reasons for the redactions need to be explicitly stated in detail and must clarify why the information is commercially sensitive and would cause material and direct harm if published.

Budget Identifier |
|
|
The budget classification is a way of linking the activity to the recipient country government's own budget codes. There are two parts to this indicator. The administrative classification can either be provided as the budget codes themselves, or as a common code that can map from a donor organisation's detailed purpose codes to the recipient country's functional or administrative budget classifications. In addition, the economic classification provides the percentage of the budget that is capital versus current expenditure. This indicator is retained for all organisations in the Index. The budget identifier helps to explain aid flows in the context of the recipient government's own budget. It does not relate only to those flows that are direct to the government ("on budget"), but also to other flows which may relate to the government's own budget. In cases where the organisation is only providing private sector investment, budget classifications are still possible. Such activities could, for example, be classified as current expenditure under the microfinance and financial services function. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Country budget items and capital spend.

The results show whether activities achieved their intended outputs in accordance with the stated goals or plans. This information often refers to logframes and results chains and may be within a specific results or evaluation section of the organisation's website. Both current and completed activities will be considered for this indicator. If the activity is ongoing then the expected results should be available. If the activity has ended then the actual results should be available within 12 months of ending.

Impact Appraisals |
|
|
Pre-project impact appraisals explain the totality of positive and negative, primary and secondary effects expected to be produced by a development intervention. Environmental impact assessments as well as impact assessments which explain what objectives the project itself intends to provide are accepted. IFIs and DFIs tend only to publish impact appraisals if regulations require them to, but given the link they have to the eventual impact and results of the activity, all organisations included in the Index are scored on this indicator.

The terms and conditions of the activity may also be referred to as benchmarks, priors, or involve words such as "subject to...". They are specific to an individual activity and explain what the recipient must do in order to be eligible for the funds to be released. The conditions should include loan repayment terms if the activity is financed by a loan. For IFIs and DFIs, this includes loan repayment conditions or special terms and conditions. In cases where the loan repayment terms are considered commercially sensitive, this information can be redacted. The reason for the redactions needs to be explicitly stated in detail and must clarify why the information is commercially sensitive and would cause material and direct harm if published. For private foundations and humanitarian agencies, statements setting out what the grant can be spent on are accepted. Templates for general terms and conditions are not accepted for scoring this indicator. If there are no policy, performance or fiduciary conditions associated with an activity, this must be explicitly stated. The IATI reference for this indicator is: Conditions and conditions document (document code = A04). |
