4. Use of reporting standards

For tracking of the disbursement of financial contributions (ODA and non-ODA) to TEIs, three reporting standards will be used in parallel and in a complementary fashion:

  • OECD-DAC’s Creditor Reporting System (CRS),
  • International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) standard,
  • Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD).

All three reporting standards envisage a relevant keyword field or similar that should be filled in to flag the disbursements as contributions to TEIs. All actors following a TE approach will need to operationalise this through a TEI keyword/ flag/tag149 in their internal reporting systems (see Section 5).

149 For reasons of simplicity, this note will mostly use the term “keywords” but should be understood as referring to “flags” or “tags” at the same time, as appropriate in the given context.
