Organisation Standard ===================== This section details the **IATI Organisation standard**. It contains the following main areas: * :doc:`Overview ` - an introduction to key aspects of the organisation standard. * :doc:`Elements ` - details on each and every element and attribute of the standard, including relevant code lists, rules and example usage. Additionally: * A :doc:`summary table ` provides an overview of all aspects of the organisation standard. * An :doc:`example XML file ` is provided, which is also used throughout the documentation. Definition ---------- | The **IATI organisational standard** is used to describe one or more organisations involved in any stage development cooperation (funding, implementing etc.). | It is designed to report *forward-looking aggregate budget* information for the reported organisations, and planned future budgets to recipient institutions or countries. | The **IATI organisational standard** is also used to report links to relevant public documents. | Organisations publish this data in an :doc:`organisation file `. It is expected that every organisation publishing IATI data should include one *organisation file*, which is updated at least annually. Considerations -------------- | When declaring information using the **IATI organisation standard** the following should be considered: * Who are the :doc:`Organisations ` involved? * How are the :doc:`Organisations ` unquiely identified? * What are the organisation’s planned future annual total :doc:`budgets `? * What are the organisation’s planned future :doc:`budgets ` for aid given to recipient countries? * What are the organisation’s planned future :doc:`budgets ` for aid given to recipient organisations? * Where are the organisation’s official public :doc:`documents `?
