<p>UK aid in the OPTs supports the protection of the most vulnerable, economic growth
and job creation, and the delivery of essential services. DFID have also provided
a rapid and flexible response to emerging humanitarian crises in the OPTs. Our support
to the International Committee of the Red Cross has provided emergency health care
assistance to aid Gaza’s burdened health system. DFID’s support to UNICEF has helped
address critical water and sanitation needs for 2 million Gazans.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>DFID funding to the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) is subject to the
rigorous controls that are applied to all UK aid, including annual reviews, evaluation
reports, and independent financial audits of programme spending. This information
is triangulated with reporting from suppliers and programme partners, and through
field visits. DFID implements a robust monitoring and evaluation system to ensure
that UK aid reaches the intended beneficiaries and achieves the best development outcomes,
with a strong focus on ensuring value for money for the UK taxpayer. Information relating
to monitoring and evaluation processes in the OPTs is stored in accordance with DFID
guidelines.</p><p> </p>
