Appointment of the Chief Commissioner of the Independent Commission for Aid Impact Contents

3Conclusions and recommendations

1.The present recruitment process for ICAI’s Chief Commissioner represents an improvement on previous iterations. (Paragraph 4)

2.We recommend that the new recruitment process – in which scores awarded by the interview panel are shared with the Secretary of State, and in which the Secretary of State provides the Chair of this Committee with notice of the name of her preferred candidate – be used again when the next Chief Commissioner is recruited. (Paragraph 4)

3.We were very impressed with Dr Tamsyn Barton’s performance in her pre-appointment hearing, and are pleased to endorse her appointment as the next Chief Commissioner of ICAI. (Paragraph 5)
