How does CIDA ensure that funds are well managed?
CIDA funding is delivered through trusted and well-managed partners, including the World Bank, United Nations agencies, and reputable international and Canadian non-governmental organizations (NGOs). CIDA has a rigorous accountability regime in place to manage the assistance program in Afghanistan-from project selection and design to implementation, progress monitoring, and results evaluation. CIDA-funded initiatives undergo assessments to ensure that funding is transparent, effective, and efficient. These evaluations are undertaken by the Agency’s audit and performance review team, reliable multilateral organizations, and independent third parties. In addition, independent evaluators conduct regular reviews of the Afghanistan program and, along with donors, the Afghan government produces a biannual assessment of progress achieved through the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board.
