IATI Datastore

The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) aims to make information about aid spending easier to access. To this end, they publish the IATI standard and keep a registry of data in that form.

The IATI Datastore is provided to help users of IATI's data access the extracts they are interested in. A public instance is available here:
