Objectives

[andylolz]

Description

The objectives or purposes of the activity are those that the activity intends to achieve.

This is only expected if the activity is in the implementation, completion or post-completion phase.

This is not expected if the sector code is administrative costs (91010).

Proposed test

For each current activity,
if `activity-status/@code` is one of (2, 3, 4)
and `sector/@code` is not 91010
then `document-link/category[@code="A02"]` should be present
or `description[@type="2"]` should be present

We think that it's neither useful to require objectives in the case of (assessed or voluntary) core-support to multilateral organisations (B02). Moreover: in the case of core-support to Belgian NGO's (B01), in which we co-fund programs, we (will) require them to publish their activities in IATI format themselves, as UK and NL are already doing as well. So we will only publish the commitment and disbursement, leaving them to publish activities, objectives, results and so on. The same applies for disbursements type of aid B03 and B04. And more generally, in fact objectives and results are only formulated in the case of C01 - projects.

Toon, will the objectives not be in your overarching documents?

[andylolz]

@ToonVB: I am sure @johnadamsDFID or @theosande can say better, but I believe there is an established best practice here.

Based on feedback elsewhere, we will modify this test to ignore default-aid-type/@code G01, rather than sector code 91010.
