UK International Development Strategy

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office is developing a new five-year UK International Development Strategy centred on 'four essential shifts' in Official Development Assistance (ODA) programming and British International Investment (BII) strategy. Parliament is pressing the Government to provide clearer evidence bases, coherent theory of change, and transparency on expected impact and results across aid and development assistance.
