The Prosperity Fund is committed to meeting the government target of \u2018good\u2019 on the International Aid Transparency Index by 2020.

The cross-government Joint Funds Unit, as part of the governance processes within the Prosperity Fund, require programmes to submit financial and impact information on a regular basis, including formal annual reviews. These formal requirements have standardised formats that departments and programme teams follow. Departments will publish these annual reviews once complete, in line with government transparency commitments. The first set of programme annual reviews should be published within the next quarter.<\/p>

<\/p>

As part of the evaluation service, interim programme evaluations will be conducted, which will feed into annual reviews. Independent evaluators will conduct these evaluations, quality assured through DFIDs \u2018Equals\u2019 process.

The Government will consider the Special Rapporteur\u2019s findings carefully.<\/p>

<\/p>

Under this Government, income inequality has fallen and remains lower than in 2010; the number of children in workless households is at a record low; and there are 1 million fewer people in absolute poverty (before housing costs) compared with 2010, including 300,000 children.<\/p>

<\/p>

Work continues to offer people the best opportunity to move out of poverty. Children living in households where all adults are working are five times less likely to be in relative poverty after housing costs than those in workless families. That is why this Government will continue to reform the welfare system to ensure that those who can work are supported to move into and to remain in employment.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Autumn Budget announced a number of changes to Universal Credit ahead of further expansion including an increase of £1,000 in work allowances from April 2019 allowing 2.4 million households to keep an extra £630 of income each year.<\/p>
