New project launched to examine DFID's spending
Posted on 2 December 2005
In 1997, the creation of the Department for International Development, combined with the strong leadership of Clare Short, was a bold and successful policy. But as UK government spending on development rises, is development spending too unfocused? How do you get the biggest bang for your buck?
The Globalisation Institute is starting a project to examine how to get best results from DFID's budget. The project is being run by Keith Boyfield, the GI's projects director, and Jonathan Clayton (pictured), the Chief African Correspondent for the Times of London, and with support from Dr Nadia Solovieva, University College, London.
