Recommendation (the committee's words)
The UK Aid Strategy set an ambition that all UK government departments that spend the ODA budget will be ranked as ‘good’ or ‘ very good’ in the international Aid Transparency Index (ATI) by 2020. To date, only three departments—DFID, DHSC and BEIS—had met the target. Departments need to improve the transparency of their aid spending. The Government must set out how it intends to measure progress towards the commitment to publish data to global transparency standards, with milestones, and hold relevant Secretaries of State and departmental officials to account for failing to meet target dates.
