DFID's key aims and objectives are set out in its
Public Service Agreement (PSA). We are currently working
towards our 2003-2006 PSA, however we have now agreed how we will progress our
work over the period beyond this, in a new PSA covering 2005-2008
Public Service Agreement
2005-2008 (PSA).
Associated with DFID's new PSA is a Technical
Note,
which describes how progress
against each of DFID's PSA targets will be assessed and measured. Where
appropriate, it includes the statistical methodologies to be applied, sources of
data and baselines.
There is a separate Conflict
Technical Note
detailing how we
will measure progress against our conflict prevention target. This has been
produced in collaboration with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the
Ministry of Defence (MoD). A summary of this document is included in DFID's main
Technical Note.
