<p>DFID has published several documents that illustrate the importance placed on how
digital can support our activities. First, our position is clearly outlined in our
digital strategy (published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/department-for-international-development-digital-strategy-2012-to-2015"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/department-for-international-development-digital-strategy-2012-to-2015</a>).
It confirms digital is an enabler that will help us achieve the departments overarching
priorities. The annual update published January 2014 set out our plans for this year,
and we are currently working on an update which will cover progress this year and
plans for 2015.</p><p> </p><p>Secondly we refer to our digital priorities in the Departmental
Improvement Plan (published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfid-departmental-improvement-plan--2"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfid-departmental-improvement-plan--2</a>)
as an integral part of the Departmental approach to continuous improvement and development.</p><p>
</p><p>Finally, (and this is referenced in the Permanent Secretary’s individual performance
objectives as published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/329087/Mark_Lowcock_objectives_2014-15.pdf"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/329087/Mark_Lowcock_objectives_2014-15.pdf</a>
) he is clear that improving digital capability is one of the Civil Service Reform
priority areas.</p><p> </p>
