UK Aid at a Crossroads: Can Accountability Survive Without a Watchdog?

How do we ensure that international development spending actually delivers on its promises? The UK’s approach to global development is currently undergoing a significant evolution. With shifts in budget management and departmental priorities, the mechanisms for tracking effectiveness are under the spotlight. Central to this discussion is the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI), the body responsible for scrutinising the value for money of UK assistance. In this episode of the Flywheel Economics Podcast, two development specialists (and former DFID colleagues) reunite to analyse the "feedback loop" of aid delivery. They reflect on the evolution of oversight since 2011 and examine why independent transparency is critical for any high-performing development programme. This isn't just a talk about policy, it's a conversation about the fundamental mechanics of accountability, leadership, and results-driven governance. If you are a practitioner, researcher, or student of global development, this discussion offers a behind-the-scenes look at the systems that keep large-scale programmes on track.
