answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2020 answer text <p>All UK Aid aims to support the delivery of the UN Global Goals, end extreme poverty and promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries. The 2015 UK Aid Strategy aligns the government’s efforts to deliver upon this commitment.</p><p>The International Development Act 2002 mandates DFID to use development assistance for poverty reduction.

All DFID programmes are reviewed annually to ensure they are achieving their aims and delivering good value to recipients and the UK tax payer.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 20/01/2020 15:16:03 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2020 answer text <p>All Machinery of Government changes are a decision for the Prime Minister. At this point, no Machinery of Government changes have been announced for DFID. This government has confirmed its commitment to 0.7 and has set out a series of ambitious development targets in the manifesto. Development and humanitarian response are complex and take place in some of the most difficult, dangerous places in the world. The UK Government has a skilled workforce in the UK and around the world that ensures the UK takes an evidenced-led approach to aid and that our investments deliver value for money and reach the intended beneficiaries.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 20/01/2020 15:15:27 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
