The Foreign Secretary has set out new measures to ensure every penny we spend goes as far as possible and to make ODA more strategic and effective than ever, under a new strategic framework for ODA. This includes using instruments appropriate to the needs and state of development. HMG will focus on technical assistance to build governments' own capability to deliver growth and development as they exit poverty, and focus our cash where the poverty need is highest.
