International Labour Organization Becomes a Full Member of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)

There is a growing number of United Nation agencies and international development bodies that are committed to promoting greater transparency in the use of development and humanitarian resources to address poverty and crises. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has recently become a full member of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), which brings together governments, multilateral institutions, the private sector, and civil society organizations to increase the transparency and openness of resources flowing into developing countries. By making the data easily accessible, the IATI Standard supports improved accountability on the use of resources and what they achieve, which will benefit both the ILO’s constituents and the international development community. 

Starting from January 1st, 2021, the ILO will continue to strengthen its information, monitoring, and reporting to IATI, and also work to progress work outcomes and achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). IATI membership gives the ILO greater opportunities to share knowledge and tools, to improve its own data management and transparency. 

According to ILO, improving transparency means:

  • establishing an evidence-based for results achieved

  • providing insights on how, where, and for what ILO uses its resources

  • ensuring value for money

  • putting in practice internationally recognized principles for effective development cooperation enhancing coordination between recipients and contributions of ILO
