<p>DFID’s core mission is reducing extreme poverty. We are striving to ensure that
every project we spend British taxpayers’ money on contributes to both reducing poverty
in the developing country and to the UK national interest, for example by tackling
multiple drivers of poverty and instability.</p><p> </p><p>We are committed to improving
the effectiveness and transparency of UK aid to ensure we are attaining maximum impact
from our aid budget. In the 2015 Aid Strategy, the government made a commitment to
aim for all UK government departments to be ranked as ‘Good’ or ‘Very Good’ in the
Aid Transparency Index by 2020. The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) has
the remit to provide independent scrutiny of the impact and value for money of all
UK Government aid spending and reports its finding to Parliament’s International Development
Committee.</p>
