<p>We use private contractors to deliver aid where they can provide the best results
and value for taxpayers' money, which is the sensible approach to take. In the past
year alone, this has included building treatment centres to defeat Ebola in Sierra
Leone, delivering life-saving aid to Syrian refugees, and providing shelter to people
who have lost their homes in the Nepal earthquake. A recent Independent Commission
for Aid Impact (ICAI) report noted that the rates paid by DFID were “highly competitive”.
Individual companies set the rates for their contractors.</p>
