Add Icons from Annex 3.3 from the Guidebook ?

[fretchen]

Should the published version of Annex 3.3 with the icons also become part of this repo ? I think that this would be a fitting place...

Hi @fretchen. It is a good idea to have the icons here as well. And then we would need to link it somwhere in the docs.

I started work on this in the main branch of this repo. The main challenge is now to add the icons nicely to the markdown...

[fretchen]

The documentation raises a number of questions:

• @Maja4Dev is there any content available to explain the intented usage of the icons ?
• Right now it is hard to see the connection with IATI and what is meant by this.
• What is the connection to the SDGs ?

Ideally, you would provide some text blocks that could fit in here

We now have a first release published through #14 . However, the questions above remain for the moment.

The icons are marking the project locations / sites. The graphics on the icons are illustrating the respective location types, e.g. "TVET school / infrastructure", "sewer network" or "rail station" together with an SDG-related colour-coding for an easier, more intuitive search by the user. Many (but not all) location types can be assigned to a specific SDG, e.g. the location type "school" to SDG 4 (Education). Therefore, in this first draft, we attempted to assign this first batch of location type icons to their most relevant SDG. This however created confusion, since not all location types can be directly attributed to only one SDG. So we propose for the next batch to keep the images and colours, but to eliminate the SDG numbers and to add a neutral colour (e.g. grey) for generic / cross-sectoral location types, where no clear SDG could be assigned (e.g. building(s) or capacity development / training). Alternatively, we could also drop the SDG-relation. Let's discuss!
