[Fictional Scenario] In an international humanitarian headquarters in Geneva managing field missions across East Africa, the grants finance officer spent countless hours reconciling messy local CSV expense sheets into the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) standard format.
Business Use Case & Requirements
NGOs, international organizations, and aid agencies operating field offices need an automated translation layer that converts local bank and expense CSV spreadsheets into standardized IATI-compliant project transaction JSON webhooks via SFTP, API, email, or Google Drive.
Technical Architecture & Pipeline Execution
The translation engine monitors incoming field office CSV submissions, normalizes multilingual column aliases, validates disbursement amounts and advance balances, and compiles structured JSON transaction feeds adhering to IATI publishing standards.
