<p>DFID and HMT routinely work on the rules and requirements governing the use of
Official Development Assistance (ODA), including the central contribution to poverty
reduction through established governance structures such as the ODA Ministerial group
and supporting Senior Officials group. Ultimately, Secretaries of State for any Government
Department spending ODA under the International Development Act are responsible for
ensuring that this spend meets its statutory obligations including ensuring that it
is likely to contribute to poverty reduction. All UK ODA must also meet OECD Development
Assistance Committee eligibility criteria – that is, ODA must be administered with
the promotion of economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main
objective.</p>
