Result

Definition

The IATI activity standard enables the publishing of information on measurable results from an iati-activity, through use of the result element via:

  • result - a container for reporting outputs, outcomes, impacts and other results that stem directly from the iati-activity.

Considerations

When using the IATI activity standard to declare result, the following should be considered:

  • Any iati-activity can have either one or multiple result.
  • A result should have a title and a description to clarify the information being detailed.
  • Every result should include an indicator, which in turn details a period of time, and then a target and actual measure.
  • An indicator can have a title and a description to clarify the information being detailed.
  • An indicator can be repeated within any result dataset.
  • It is also recommended to include a baseline measure for each result recorded.
  • Any target, actual and baseline can have attached a comment to provide additional narrative or information.
  • The free-text instances of title, description and comment can be repeated for multiple languages, using @xml:lang.
  • The free-text instances of title, description and comment should avoid use of text in CAPITALS, where possible.

2.01+ Considerations

In versions 2.01 and above, the following must also be considered:

  • Any freetext title, description or comment must be included in the child narrative element, which can be repeated for different languages.
