Oxfam GB welcomes the UK Government's Bilateral Aid Review. The UK's international leadership in development is widely recognised, and the Department for International Development has a well-deserved reputation for progressive, effective, cutting-edge development policies and programming. Global change is continuous, so it is right and necessary that aid and development policies are subject to review, not least at a time where major challenges must be met: tackling global poverty, ensuring an equitable and sustainable growth path out of the global economic crisis, and urgently addressing the causes and impacts of runaway climate change. We welcome the opportunity to contribute to this process.
