The Government recognises the valuable role that the Specialised Agencies of the United Nations perform in the agreement and enforcement of international norms, standards and regulations. The UK focuses its support on agencies that are best placed to deliver on the Government\u2019s strategic priorities and which demonstrate excellent performance including value for money for UK taxpayers\u2019 investments. The Multilateral Development Review published in December 2016 explained how the Department for International Development is working with several Specialised Agencies to improve their effectiveness, including the introduction of performance agreements to reinforce priority reforms.<\/p>"}

As the Bilateral Development Review set out, DFID is increasing investment in fragile states and countries emerging from conflict, and significantly scaling up support for the Middle East. We are focussing more strongly on the Sahel, alongside our work in northern Nigeria, Somalia and other countries in the \u2018arc of instability\u2019 in Africa.<\/p>
DFID\u2019s allocations are continually reviewed to ensure development assistance is used most effectively to achieve poverty reduction in the national interest and responds to changing global needs. Planned programme allocations for 2016/17 and 2017/18 in the countries where we currently have direct activities were published in DFID\u2019s 2015/16 Annual Report.<\/p>
