Organisations / agencies covered

The data we publish relates to AAUK and to activities related to restricted funded projects, both by institutional donors, major donors, trusts and foundations and corporate partners. We will also publish top-line data about unrestricted funding.

Timeliness of Data

Data on international development activities will be published within 6 months of the start of each project. Data on humanitarian activities will be published within 3 months of the start of each project. Data on unrestricted funding will be published once a year.

Frequency of publication

Quarterly

Frequency of publication (extra comments)

Data on both international development and humanitarian activities will be updated every 3 or 6 months (based on the type of donor). In some cases, for example where the delivery chain is multi-tiered, there might be delays in confirming expenditure which are outside of AAUK's control.

Units of Aid

For institutional/restricted funding each activity represents a contract or grant agreement. All unrestricted funds raised in each financial year will be published as one single activity.

Field Exclusions

General criteria for exclusions are listed in AAUK's Open Information Policy, available here https://www.actionaid.org.uk/sites/default/files/open_information_policy_actionaid_uk.pdf AAUK maintains that names of individual donors, trusts, foundations and corporate partners fall within one or more criteria outlined in the policy and therefore will be always anonymised.

Record Exclusions

General criteria for exclusions are listed in AAUK's Open Information Policy, available here https://www.actionaid.org.uk/sites/default/files/open_information_policy_actionaid_uk.pdf Each activity will be assessed against these criteria before its publication.

Thresholds

Income, Expenditure and Disbursements figures are aggregated by quarter. Thresholds are not applied at the moment.

Other Constraints

All AAUK's policies are aligned to ActionAid International's policies.

Data Quality

Data published to the IATI Registry follows internal Quality Assurance (QA) processes, which include data checks at specific points (e.g. quarterly updates, end of project). Data on expenditure and disbursement is verified by the Finance team through AAUK's Global Finance System. Sector information and Policy Markers are based on the judgement of project staff even though based on OECD/DAC guidelines.
