1. Target group
This Guidance refers to the reporting on all Team Europe Initiatives, addressing mainly (1) technical staff in charge of institutional reporting to existing platforms – OECD’s Creditor Reporting System (CRS), the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) standard and Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD) – and (2) operational staff inserting interventions into the internal systems.
On the side of the Commission, the institutional reporting responsibility lies mainly with INTPA, whereas operational staff in Headquarter services and Delegations flag interventions in the internal system as contributions to Team Europe Initiatives where appropriate.
On the side of the EU Member States and other actors following a Team Europe approach (centrally and at the level of their publishing organisations), it addresses the statistical services in Headquarters in charge of adapting the reporting systems to allow for a flagging of Team Europe Initiatives, as well as operational staff in Headquarters and on the ground who will have to flag the contributions to Team Europe Initiatives in their systems.
