§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development when he will publish his assessment of the reasons for the decline referred to on page 190 of the 2004 Departmental Report on the number of low-risk departmental projects evaluated as successful. [174118]
§ Hilary BennThe number of low risk projects judged as likely to be successful was reported as 75 per cent. in DFID's Departmental Report, against a baseline of 81 per cent. This increased to 78 per cent. in the first quarter figures for 2004.
The figure gives a forecast of success for projects of £1 million or more that have been in operation for at least two years. It fluctuates on a quarterly basis because it is recording work in progress and is a 12-month snapshot view on a particular date reflecting those projects that meet the above criteria. The decline was caused by a small number of successful projects ending and therefore graduating from the scoring system.
We will continue to report both the underlying data, and our assessment of it, in our Autumn Performance Report and in the annual Departmental Report.
