Multilateral Aid Review

Asked if there was any chance that development funding budgets would be cut, the Prime Minister’s Spokeswoman (PMS) said that the International Development Secretary wanted to ensure, inline with general Government policy, that taxpayers’ money would be spent in the most value for money way, and that it remained inline with our poverty reduction objectives. The PMS went on to say that she would not preclude the review, but said that we wanted to ensure that money was being spent in the way it should be.

Put that some aid was still going to countries like China and India, the PMS said that the International Development Secretary was writing to the multilateral organisations to ask for help in this review by ensuring that not only were our objectives being met but that organisations could demonstrate the delivery aid was having a positive affect.

Asked if the Government’s aim was to put more money into multilateral aid, the PMS said that the aim was to ensure that our poverty reduction money was being spent in order to achieve objectives.
