The World Bank is the administrator of Environmental Transformation
Fund (ETF) resources. Country Governments decide the appropriate
implementation agent on a project by project basis. The implementation
agent will normally be one of the Multilateral Development Banks.
(2) Cost of the UKaid rebranding
To date we have spent approximately £130,000 on re-branding
our overseas aid. Of this cost £98,286 was spent on the design
work and research groups to ensure that the UKaid logo communicates
the work of the Department for International Development effectively,
in language that is meaningful to the UK public. The procurement
and development of the new logo was commissioned via the government's
COI, following best practice and ensuring optimal value for money.
This is a highly competitive price, coming in at about a quarter
of the cost of comparable logos (BBC3 £400,000, London 2012
£400,000).
(3) UKaid pilot countries
Since the introduction of UKaid in July 2009 we have piloted
it in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, the Occupied
Palestinian Territories and Zimbabwe. The pilots are now complete.
Guidelines for the wider use of UKaid overseas are being developed
and will be available for country offices in January 2010.
