HC Deb 25 July 1990 vol 177 c248W
Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how the procedure for monitoring and evaluating projects funded under the Overseas Development Administration's emergency budget differs from procedures for projects under the regular aid budget.

Mrs. Chalker

There is no single procedure for either monitoring or evaluating emergency aid operations. Monitoring is usually continuous since the emergency actions are generally of relatively short duration. Procedures for evaluating emergency aid are the same as those for projects funded from the regular aid programme, but the methodology chosen for each study reflects the nature of the project under evaluation.
