This report finds that the multilateral aid review is a significant step towards the Department being able to improve the value for money from its spending through these organisations which totalled £3.6 billion in 2011-12. The Department's 2011 review, which assessed 43 organisations, was a more thorough and comprehensive process than previous assessments. The review was valuable: both for providing accountability to UK taxpayers and for promoting reform in the multilateral organisations themselves. It enabled the Department to show international leadership. The review rated nine organisations as 'very good' value for money for UK aid, 16 as 'good', nine as 'adequate' and nine as 'poor'. Funding to those organisations it rated as 'good' or 'very good' will increase from 74 per cent of the total in 2010-11 to 77 per cent in 2014-15 and fund for four of those it rated as 'poor' value will cease. However, international agreements limit the extent to which the Department can change its funding. It is important, therefore, that it has co-ordinated, up-to-date plans on how it will use the review to drive performance improvements in each organisation. While the assessment framework compared well with recognized models for assessing value for money in organisations, the guidance to assessors did not always ensure consistency and some organisations found it difficult to fulfill all the evidence requirements. Organisations rated as 'very good' did not need to meet a minimum set of standards and their cost-effectiveness was not always compared to alternative delivery methods

This report raises concerns about the Government's capacity to monitor multilateral organisations in countries where the Government has no bilateral aid programmes of its own. During the Government's first Multilateral Aid Review (MAR) in 2011, the staff conducting the review only visited two of these countries; for the next MAR, the report recommends that more of these visits be conducted. The MPs also argue that the Government should compare multilateral organisations with the value for money of the UK's own bilateral aid programmes. Following the first MAR in 2011, the Government drew up funding plans for 39 international organisations: such funding accounted for 42% of the entire budget of the UK's aid agency, the Department for International Development (DFID), in 2012. Yet for 35 organisations out of 39, the Government failed to draw any comparisons with the value for money of the UK's own, bilateral aid programmes, making it difficult to know whether bilateral aid or multilateral aid represented better value for money. The MPs recommend that these comparisons be an 'integral part' of the next MAR. In addition, the MPs recommend that the Government conduct regular reviews of its own, bilateral aid programmes. The MPs also say that the Government's methodology for assessing international organisations leaves room for improvement. They argue that the first MAR failed to adequately distinguish between the different mandates of the international organisations being assessed. In addition, the report recommends that the next MAR specifically assess multilaterals' commitment to tackling violence against women and girls.

Multilateral organisations can play a very valuable role in development; they often work in politically sensitive areas, can offer economies of scale, broker international agreements and set international standards. The Department for International Development (the Department) funds a range of these organisations to deliver its objectives. It spends almost half of its total aid budget on core funding for multilateral organisations, amounting to £3.6 billion in 2011-12. The Department published a Multilateral Aid Review (the Review) in March 2011, which assessed the value for money of 43 multilateral organisations in achieving departmental objectives. Refinements to the Review process will allow the Department to build on its successes and improve the effectiveness of future Reviews. These include pressing multilateral organisations for better data on costs and results, better assessment of gaps and duplication in their activities, and strengthening the link between a multilateral organisation's performance and the Department's funding. Collaborating with other countries on reform programmes and sharing assessments will help the Department to maximise the impact of the Review process and minimise the administrative burdens on multilateral organisations. The Department's overall budget for international aid will increase by 27% in real terms between 2010-11 and 2014-15. Public confidence in the value of UK aid depends on the Department demonstrating that the funds are well spent. Better comparisons between the cost-effectiveness of bilateral aid and multilateral aid will allow the Department to determine which approach is best placed to deliver its outcomes.

Sound financial management will be essential at the Department for International Development as its spending increases by a third over the next four years. The Department has put important building blocks in place; however its financial management is not yet mature. The Department cannot yet assess important aspects of the value for money of the aid it has delivered, at an aggregated level. The Department's programme budget will grow by £3.3 billion from 2010-11 to 2014-15 (34 per cent in real terms). At the same time, its administration budget is going to reduce by a third. The Department has increased the number of finance professionals it employs, but this expertise needs to be used more effectively across the business. In addition, new financial information systems do not yet provide the data needed to support well-founded decisions and forecasts are still an area of weakness. After a thorough review the Department now has a high level plan. Along with actions to strengthen measurement of aid projects, this has the potential to help strengthen the focus on aid results and value for money. But key risks need to be managed and a single strategy for doing so is needed. With greater spending in higher risk locations and more fragile states more must be done to assure that fraud and corruption risks are minimised. Although the level of reported fraud is low, it is likely to be under-reported. The NAO has found that the investigation of fraud is reactive and the Department does not attempt to quantify its estimated likely fraud losses

Download Development Aid Confronts Politics Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A new lens on development is changing the world of international aid. The overdue recognition that development in all sectors is an inherently political process is driving aid providers to try to learn how to think and act politically. Major donors are pursuing explicitly political goals alongside their traditional socioeconomic aims and introducing more politically informed methods throughout their work. Yet these changes face an array of external and internal obstacles, from heightened sensitivity on the part of many aid-receiving governments about foreign political interventionism to inflexible aid delivery mechanisms and entrenched technocratic preferences within many aid organizations. This pathbreaking book assesses the progress and pitfalls of the attempted politics revolution in development aid and charts a constructive way forward. Contents: Introduction 1. The New Politics Agenda The Original Framework: 1960s-1980s 2. Apolitical Roots Breaking the Political Taboo: 1990s-2000s 3. The Door Opens to Politics 4. Advancing Political Goals 5. Toward Politically Informed Methods The Way Forward 6. Politically Smart Development Aid 7. The Unresolved Debate on Political Goals 8. The Integration Frontier Conclusion 9.
