Accepted
Agree. The FCDO is committed to ensuring that data is published in a clear, user-friendly, and complete manner. The FCDO recognises the importance of IATI data not just in its availability but also its accessibility and will continue to evolve DevTracker in response to user feedback. FCDO will work with the IATI community to improve the accessibility of the data on IATI’s own data portal, D-Portal. This will make it easier for data users to access the wider range of data held by IATI including on suppliers.
