<p>The United Kingdom is the only G7 country to legislate on its promise to provide
0.7% gross national income towards helping the world’s poor. In doing so we have given
a very strong commitment to stable and predictable aid finance.</p><p>The Government
recognises the importance of providing predictable flows to partner countries. To
this end DFID has published indicative forward country budgets in its Annual Report
and details of approved projects in every country. It is important that Ministers
continually review where, how and how much we spend, to ensure that aid is being used
to maximum effect in reducing poverty in the national interest, and that our work
responds to changing global challenges and volatile country situations.</p>
