How does DFID decide whether or not to fund a proposal?
We appraise project proposals according to good practice standards, the agreed priorities and available funds in the context of our specific policies and strategies for the relevant issue, and country or region. Judgements are also based on assessment and monitoring visits by our staff in the field. The views of the relevant British Embassy or High Commission are also sought. In the interests of better co-ordination, we may also consult bodies such as the UN Department of Humanitarian Affairs, ECHO, European Community partners and other donors. Further information such as Country Strategy Papers and other policy documents are available from the Publications section of the DFID website or from the Public Enquiry Point (PEP) (enquiry@dfid.gov.uk). The PEP can also provide the Office Instructions and Technical Notes used by DFID staff to appraise proposals to ensure that they meet feasible technical, institutional, social, economic, financial, and environmental quality standards.
