We are pleased to announce that the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) are the latest signatory to IATI, taking the total number of signatories to 21.

This means that you can expect their first batch of data to be published over the next few days. We’ll let you know as soon as this happens, so keep an eye out here for more information.

Update 4 October: We’re pleased to announce that UNOPS published their data to IATI on evening of 3 October. Read more about this data release.
