<p>As set out in the aid strategy, UK aid: tackling global challenges in the national
interest, the government will ensure that every penny of money spent delivers value
for taxpayers, and projects that do not will be cancelled. Departments follow good
financial management principles set out in HM Treasury guidance in ‘Managing Public
Money’ for all their expenditure. In addition, ODA spend is subject to scrutiny by
the Independent Commission for Aid Impact. The UK Aid Strategy also commits all departments
to achieving greater levels of transparency in aid spend.</p><p> </p><p>DFID has robust
internal processes such as strong ministerial oversight, mandatory reviews on all
programmes, detailed management information for use at all levels of the organisation
including on project performance and quality. Other departments will have their own
arrangements and DFID will continue to share good practice advice with them.</p>
