DFID Annual Report and Accounts 2017-2018<\/a> also shows the results achieved during the period April 2015 to March 2018. In that period, UK Official Development Assistance reached 26.8 million people with humanitarian assistance and supported 40.3 million people to access clean water and/or better sanitation. Between January 2015 and December 2017, it supported the immunisation of approximately 37.4 million children, saving an estimated 610,000 lives. We are committed to improving the effectiveness and transparency of UK aid to ensure we are attaining maximum impact from our aid budget. The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) has the remit to provide independent scrutiny of the impact and value for money of all UK Government aid spending and reports its finding to Parliament\u2019s International Development Committee.<\/p> <\/p>"}

The British Government remains closely engaged with South Sudan's leaders, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and its Member States, our Troika (USA and Norway) partners, and the wider international community to encourage the implementation of the peace agreement signed on 12 September.<\/p>
The parties to the conflict must show they are genuinely committed to its implementation and must abide by the commitments they have made. Key indicators of this commitment include an immediate end to all violence, the release of all political detainees, and the removal of impediments to humanitarian access.<\/p>
As part of our support for long term peace in South Sudan, we also continue to urge the region and the international community to hold accountable those who are working against peace, which must include the robust enforcement of UN sanctions and the arms embargo.<\/p>"}
