<p>DFID uses evidence on the cost-effectiveness of health interventions to inform
DFID investment decisions. This includes the World Health Organisation CHOICE (CHOosing
Interventions that are Cost-Effective) project that provides detailed cost-effectiveness
estimates of a large number of interventions to reduce risks to health, including
many causes of blindness. DFID’s aim is to maximise health gains through targeted,
cost-effective health interventions that are delivered through strengthened, more
efficient and effective health systems.</p><br /><p>Every DFID project is rigorously
appraised before approval. During implementation each project is regularly monitored
to examine whether the targeted results are on track, whether the project represents
value for money and remains cost effective, and what, if any, corrective action needs
to be undertaken. DFID considers alternative approaches and cost-effectiveness, amongst
other factors, whenever we make an investment. The best value for money in a given
country at a given time will depend on many factors, including the local context and
what others are doing.</p>
