SIPU International proudly announces collaboration with KPMG
for the provision of evaluations commissioned by the British
Independent Commission for Aid Impact
The Independent Commission for Aid Impact, ICAI,
was launched on May 12, 2011. ICAI is the independent body
responsible for the scrutiny of UK aid. It focuses on
maximising the impact and effectiveness of the UK aid budget for
recipients and the delivery of value for money for the UK
taxpayer.
With scope to look at all UK Official Development Assistance
(ODA), ICAI will scrutinise ODA spend in all government
departments.
Led by a Chief Commissioner, Graham Ward CBE, ICAI reports to
Parliament through the House of Commons International Development
Committee. This ensures both independence and accountability.
ICAI is a unique body that will publish transparent, impartial
and objective reports on the effectiveness of UK aid. ICAI will
ensure that its recommendations lead to change by providing
evidence-based feedback into Government decision making. ICAI
recommendations will play a role in supporting the UK to spend aid
on what works best.
ICAI will balance value for money with delivery and impact on
the ground and the voice of developing country partners. It will
promote delivery of maximum benefit to recipients in a way that is
efficient and effective for the UK taxpayer.
ICAI has appointed a contractor to carry out work on its behalf.
This work will be led by KPMG in partnership with Agulhas Applied
Knowledge, the Centre of Evaluation for Global Action (CEGA)
and the Swedish Institute for Public Administration (SIPU).
