Role of the Group

The International Development Sector Transparency Panel was established by the Department for International Development to drive forward the government’s transparency agenda. It will seek to challenge, influence and advise DFID on its approach to international development transparency.

The panel was brought together as a result of the Prime Minister’s 2011 letter on transparency and DFID’s Aid Transparency Challenge. DFID has a bold and ambitious vision on transparency. We believe it should be possible for anyone, anywhere to track global development spending right through the system from taxpayer to beneficiary. DFID has set a challenge to itself and its implementing partners to take steps to make all DFID development spending traceable right through the system.

Increasing the transparency and traceability of development spending has the potential to transform the way development assistance is delivered and to improve its impact. It will make it easier for UK taxpayers and citizens in poor countries to hold donors and recipient governments to account for using aid money wisely.
