DAI Global UK uploads data on all of its FCDO contracts which specify IATI publication. None of the other contracts that DAI Global UK holds currently mandate or cover the cost of IATI publication.

Quarterly
Frequency of publication (extra comments)
DAI Global UK began publishing from the third quarter of 2015 (covering July to September, inclusive).
Units of Aid
Data will be published at the project level, which we define by contract. A single contract will be considered a single unit of aid.
Segmentation of Published Data
No segmentation at this time.
Data Definitions and References
No further references are available at this time. However we generally publish data as follows:- For all contracts we are publishing an Incoming Funds Transaction as the total sterling value invoiced to FCDO in that quarter - for Q4 2015 that is invoices sent to DFID from 1 Oct to 31 Dec 2015. This allows for matching to the FCDO published outgoing funds figures. Disbursements (pass-through) are listed separately by organisation, except where disbursement are to individuals. For individuals, we aggregate for data protection reasons. Expenditure is split into categories by project, depending on the contract type. For Time and Materials contracts we will add an Expenditure Transaction for each of the following categories for which we have invoiced (with small variations per project): Fees Travel Living costs Equipment Other expenses - may be split down further into, for example, Office Running Costs, Workshops, etc. Grants & Programme Activities For output based payment contracts which also have reimbursable elements, we report as follows (with minor variation between projects): Fees milestones billed Travel Living Costs Equipment Other expenses - may be split down further into, for example, Office Running Costs, Workshops, etc. Grants & Programme Activities

Record Exclusions
We exclude activities where publication could present a security, access, or reputation risk. This includes activities in locations or on subject matters designated as high risk or highly sensitive (e.g. conflict affected areas).
Thresholds
