The Global Goals will be the starting point for all DFID’s work in the coming years. All DFID programmes have to consider at the design stage what longer-term impact they will have and how the envisaged benefits of the programme will be sustained beyond the period of DFID's support, and all individual DFID programmes and DFID's overall portfolio are reviewed on a regular basis, with the rate of progress towards the Global Goals a key factor.
