Getting started#

Data published to the IATI standard can be complex, containing transactions, documents, results, and more. CDFD processes and outputs a subset of the data, with a focus on data most relevant to partner country governments.

Accessing the data#

CDFD provides three ways to access the processed IATI data:

Data Dashboards#

CDFD Data Dashboards provide interactive, visual summaries of budgets and spend by recipient count/region, reporting organsation, or DAC 3 digit sector categories. Various filters can be applied to customise the dashboards, with the full menu of filters available from the “More Filters” button.

Individual figures on the dashboard can be viewed as maps, graphs, or tables. The data used to create each figure can be downloaded in spreadsheet (XLSX) format.
