The IATI Dashboard and Publishing Statistics are maintained by the technical team of the IATI Secretariat. It has grown out of various projects to track IATI data around various facets and metrics.
The Dashboard and Publishing Statistics are generated through a daily process that happens each night.
This is a two step process:
The generation process usually completes within 12 hours.
The data is downloaded, and then there is a period of computing time to generate the statistics that inform the Dashboard and Publishing Statistics.
Usually, there is a small period of time between the two. However, we do track this as sometimes things break - and the site fails to regenerate. If you spot something, please also let us know via support@iatistandard.org.
No. There may be a number of reasons why a certain graph or number rises or falls.
In some cases, a fall in the graph may well be down to the fact that the Dashboard script failed to download the relevant data. This could be due to any number of reasons - and not necessarily anything to do with the setup of the IATI publisher.
Therefore, we stress to treat the graphs, numbers and statistics on the IATI Dashboard with caution, context and consideration.

Different tables capture how timely, forward looking and comprehensive a publisher’s IATI data is. A summary of this information is displayed on the Summary Statistics page, where each quality is marked out of 100.
The other tabs outline how this mark is calculated and the different assessments included.
In some cases, a low number may well be down to the fact that the Dashboard script failed to download the relevant data or the methodology for an element within IATI may need amending. This could be due to any number of reasons - and not necessarily anything to do with the setup of the IATI publisher.
Only the timeliness tables track an organisation’s publishing over time. If the Publishing Statistics doesn’t pick up your data one month we are unable to back fill the table.
Therefore, we stress to treat the tables and their corresponding marks with caution, context and consideration.

Yes - the source code is all open source:
We advise you to check through the technical specifications.
Ideally, we’d suggest to check through the list of issues we have logged in our Github repositories.
Alternatively, please email us via support@iatistandard.org
We’d suggest two initial checks:
