All DFID projects are measured against a robust monitoring framework to ensure they remain cost effective. DFID also supports other aid spending departments, who are responsible for ensuring value for money and effective monitoring of their own aid spend. answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 29/03/2017 14:26:06 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2017 answer text <p>Working with disability focused NGOs and disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) is central to DFID’s work on Disability Inclusion. DFID’s leading programmes for working with NGOs – UK Aid Direct and UK Aid Match – both include support for disability-focused organisations. DFID’s flagship programme on girls education – the Girls’ Education Challenge – has reached over 45,000 girls with disabilities, in part through working with disability focused organisations such as Leonard Cheshire. DFID continues to learn from experience of what works in reaching girls with disabilities. For example, building on the success of the programme in Kenya, Leonard Cheshire are working with the education ministry to revise the teacher training curriculum and demonstrate to local education ministries how to support girls with disabilities.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 07/09/2017 13:11:16 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
