Recommendation 30

30 Acknowledged

FCDO demonstrates a strong monitoring, evaluation, and learning culture and processes.

Conclusion
We have been glad to hear that there is a stronger evaluation culture in the FCDO than can be seen in many other Government departments, and that the FCDO’s monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) processes are strong in comparison to other international actors. There has been a clear continuity of MEL processes from DFID to the FCDO, with the retained strengths of DFID’s frameworks being apparent. (Conclusion, Paragraph 100)
Government Response Summary
The government acknowledges the committee's positive assessment, agreeing that the FCDO is a world leader in Value for Money (VfM) and has maintained the strong legacy of monitoring, evaluation, and learning processes from DFID.
