<p>UK ODA is scrutinised by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI), which
focuses on the delivery of value for money and maximising the impact and effectiveness
of UK aid. ICAI reports directly to Parliament through the International Development
Committee (IDC) ensuring both independence and accountability of the ODA. The National
Audit Office also scrutinises departmental spending including the effectiveness of
ODA spending.</p><p> </p><p>As part of DFID’s programme approval process, an accredited
Evaluation Advisor reviews the evaluation plan for the ongoing effectiveness of the
programme. DFID reviews all programmes annually, providing an assessment of performance,
ongoing relevance, value for money, lessons learned, and any remedial action required.
Individual government departments are responsible for design, evaluation and governance
of their Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) budget. However, DFID makes available
some relevant evaluation tools to support other departments.</p>
