DFID’s bilateral aid to Pakistan

Our approach

This review set out to assess whether DFID was achieving impact and value for money in Pakistan with its bilateral aid to education, humanitarian assistance and health.

The evaluation focused on aid delivery and impact. It examined three contrasting areas of the DFID Pakistan programme, covering a range of funding channels and delivery partners. Across these three areas, the evaluation examined:

• the extent to which programmes have achieved sustainable impact for the intended beneficiaries; and
• the effectiveness, efficiency and value for money of the different funding and delivery channels in delivering that impact, including whether DFID had delivery chains in place that would enable it to cope with the substantial scaling-up of the UK aid programme envisaged in the following four years.
