Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government who has responsibility for (1) programme design, and (2) delivery of, Official Development Assistance compliant projects; and whether that person will continue to have that responsibility.

Design and delivery of Official Development Assistance projects is the responsibility of the individual spending department.

DFID ministers retain authority over decisions on aid spending and accountability for all financial resources remains within existing departmental lines.

Departments will work more closely together overseas to deliver Her Majesty’s Government’s objectives and ensure the UK’s international operations are fully integrated.
