Executive summary: The UK’s International Development Committee consultation presents an opportunity to influence aid effectiveness through public submissions, with previous similar efforts showing significant impact on policy recommendations.
Key points:
Current consultation seeks input on how UK’s FCDO defines and implements “Value for Money” in aid programs, with submissions due January 7th.
Key recommendations include: collecting/publishing unit cost data, strengthening evidence use in planning, leveraging partnerships with effective institutions, and investing in evaluation systems.
Previous consultation effort led by author was successful, with their recommendations becoming top answers in ICAI’s results summary.
Submissions don’t require UK citizenship or expertise, and due to typically low submission numbers (~130), even 10 new submissions could be highly impactful.
Author provides template arguments and suggests using AI tools to help craft submissions, with an online workshop available for support.
