<p>DFID has rigorous programme and financial management procedures and systems in
place. This government has significantly strengthened these procedures and systems,
placing a strong emphasis on ensuring programmes are high quality and deliver value
for money and real development impact. Each DFID project is rigorously appraised before
approval to establish value for money. During implementation, projects are measured
against a robust monitoring framework through mandatory annual reviews to ensure they
remain cost effective and are delivering expected outputs, outcomes and development
impact. The results of these annual reviews are scored by the managing team and are
then monitored through regular management information reports to management and Ministers.
We take decisions to exit underperforming programmes and redirect resources into those
that deliver poverty reduction and value for money for taxpayers.</p><p>DFID is also
committed to generating high quality evidence through independent evaluations which
look in detail at the impact that our interventions are having and what lessons can
be learnt for the future. In addition the Independent Commission for Aid Impact assesses
the effectiveness of DFID’s programming.</p>
