On 9th February, a meeting of the International Aid Transparency Initiative Steering Committee in Paris will agree the final details of the global standard for publishing aid information.

These include:

• the provision of up-to-date information on current and future aid flows; and
• ensuring that published information uses common definitions and formats that are compatible with partner countries’ budgets and systems.”
