Global Challenges Research Fund
The cross-government Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) has the potential to help address major global development challenges, but risks being spread too thinly to achieve transformative results.
Government response
The government publishes a response to all ICAI reviews. You can read the government response to ICAI’s review of the GCRF online.
In addition, the government supplied a separate response on whether the funding conditions of the GCRF are consistent with its commitment not to tie UK aid, and the ODA eligibility of the Funding Council GCRF allocations. Read the governments separate response on ODA and untied aid.
