Multilateral Aid Review

A systematic assessment to examine the value for money that we get from putting our funding through multilateral organisations, and to help decide future funding levels to these organisations.

皇冠体育app Multilateral Aid Review (MAR) 2015 has now commenced; it will be published in 2016. 皇冠体育app multilateral landscape has changed since the MAR (2011) and our multilateral strategy now needs to be refreshed to reflect these changes.

皇冠体育app 2011 MAR was the first systematic assessment to examine the value for money that we get from putting our funding through multilateral organisations. 皇冠体育app subsequent MAR Update, completed in 2013, scrutinised the improvements multilateral organisations had made since 2011.

Multilateral organisations play a key role in emergencies and in reducing poverty around the world. 皇冠体育appy add to and complement the work of the UK government. All of the multilateral organisations DFID funds must provide real value for money for the UK taxpayer.

皇冠体育app MAR (2011) provided us with the evidence needed to take decisions about how best to provide funding through the multilateral organisations in order to make the greatest possible effect on poverty. 皇冠体育app result was that we ceased giving core funding to 4 multilateral organisations and placed a further 4 into special measures. We also identified a set of reform priorities for each agency to address to strengthen their performance going forward. 皇冠体育app Update showed that the advances made by the multilaterals against these reform priorities had been steady, but there was still room for improvement.

皇冠体育app MAR (2015) will assess all the agencies covered by the Update plus the Green Climate Fund and the Global Green Growth Institute. It will be published in the spring of 2016.
