recipient-country¶
iati-activities/iati-activity/recipient-country
This is the reference page for the XML element recipient-country.
Definition¶
A country that will benefit from this activity. If a specific country is not known the recipient-region element should be used instead. For geographical location, use the location element.
Multiple countries and regions can be reported, in which case the percentage attribute MUST be used to specify the share of total commitments across all reported countries and regions.
The country can also be specified at transaction rather than activity level. If recipient-country OR recipient-region are reported at the transaction level, ALL transactions MUST contain a recipient-country or recipient-region element and iati-activity/recipient-country and iati-activity/recipient-region MUST NOT be used.
Rules¶
This element may occur any number of times.
