Does the publisher know?

Yes, I have emailed the contact found on the Registry and cc-ed IATI Support.

Hello! There has been no activity on this issue in the last 30 days. I wonder if it has now been resolved?

If you’re reading this, would you mind checking to see if the issue is still applicable?

• If it has been resolved, please add a message to that effect, and (if you’re able to) close it.
• If the problem still applies, please add a message to let us know. I’ll remove the "awaiting update" label, and will check in again next month.

Thank you!

This is still an issue - though it might be a political one.

The IATI support ticket has apparently been deleted or presumably, moved due to privacy.

Unable to find reports for 2012-2013 on the Scottish Government website and their recent reports are now only in PDF format; eg. https://www.gov.scot/publications/contribution-international-development-report-2017-18/

Other reports live here, nested deep in links within links.

Unsure what to do with this issue - supposedly as it is a data issue, it should remain open?

Have nudged IATI support about this.

Think this will be an 'evergreen' issue as there is no response from IATI or publisher.
