<p>In 2012, the UK made a £600m pledge to the New Alliance, consisting of projects
in 6 founding member countries, which aim at improving incomes from agricultural production,
and the food security and nutrition of smallholder farmers and the extreme poor. The
objective of the pledge was to be more transparent about aid to agriculture and food
security, in alignment with principles of aid effectiveness and the overall goal of
the New Alliance. The £600m also included funding to the Global Agriculture and Food
Security Programme (GAFSP, managed by the World Bank) and other international agriculture
research and policy initiatives.</p><br /><p>Like every programme funded by DFID,
projects pledged under the New Alliance are subject to annual reviews that are posted
on the DFID Development Tracker website. At national level, governments lead an annual
review of the progress of commitments, in consultation with development and private
sector actors, which findings are made public on the New Alliance website.</p><br
