The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) is an independent non-departmental public body tasked with the scrutiny of British Official development assistance (ODA).[4]
Launched in May 2011 by then
ICAI's work is monitored by the Sub-Committee on the work of the Independent Commission for Aid Impact part of the International Development Committee.[10] ICAI hires a service provider, Agulhas Applied Knowledge, to carry out its work on its behalf, and has also worked with KPMG, Concerto Partners LLP and the Swedish Institute for Public Administration.[11][12]
It was announced that ICAI would remain as a monitoring agency as the Foreign & Commonwealth Office merged with the Department for International Development to form the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.[13]
The UK government is in the process of reviewing ICAI's remit as it did in a 2017 tailored review.[14][15] The International Development Committee similarly is investigating ICAI's performance between 2019 and 2020 and its future.[16]
