The UK has delivered successfully on its 0.7% commitment while ensuring programme quality and actively managing risks. DFID continues to provide predictable financial flows.

Ensuring the right mix and synergies between centrally managed funds and priorities on the one hand, and flexible, context-based country programmes on the other will, however, need to be carefully managed. Programming and strategic management need to be further streamlined to ensure efficient, effective delivery.
