DFID’s data collection system Single database Collects all project information (design, implementation and evaluation) Used to produce Statistics on International Development and reporting to the DAC Project officers enter data Coding guidance essential

Bilateral and multilateral spending Any expenditure through a multilateral is flagged It is classified as: Multilateral spending if Core contributions Funding of secondees to multilaterals Capacity building of multilaterals Bilateral spending if Non core contributions - Country, sector, theme or individual project is identified Core contributions to NGOs

How to identify sector spending Sector codes DAC has one sector code per project DFID uses multiple sector coding DFID sector codes based on DACs Cross cutting markers HIV and AIDS Gender

Other reporting issues All UK aid untied General Budget Support Reported to DAC as lump sum UK notionally allocates GBS to sectors Spending targets International and UK Progress needs to be measured Appropriate methodologies In year progress measured
