The 2016 Multilateral Development Review included a comprehensive assessment of every UN agency receiving more than £1 million of annual core funding from DFID.

We continue to actively monitor UN Agency performance through our membership of their Governing Boards and analysis of their results data. We are clear that where agencies consistently fail to meet our high standards, their funding is at risk. The UK is pushing hard for the UN development system to change so that it is better prepared for the challenges of the 21st Century; future funding will be linked to progress on reform.
