Transparency Beyond Mexico IATI Steering Committee Lessons Learnt and proposals on a way forward for the Busan « Transparency » indicator and the common standard Guillaume Delalande, Policy Analyst, OECD, DCD/SDF

A few elements may need to be clarified before the next version of the indicator The definition of the common standard and its governance structure What is actually measured: – The common standard implementation – Information on resource flows – All information on development cooperation.

A number of suggested methodological improvements OECD systems and the IATI cannot be assessed along the same parameters. – Timeliness : Statistical data differs from management data. – Comprehensiveness: not all fields are in the CRS. In each dimension, some technical issues to address. The possible addition of new dimensions (such as quality)

Some proposals on a way forward The creation of a multi-stakeholder group, which could: – Ensure the necessary buy-in – Help clarify some of the definitions – Help address methodological and technical issues (scope, presentation of results, etc.) A consultative and transparent validation process.
