How has DFID benefited from the results of the MDES?
The MDES has greatly enhanced our understanding of the organisations we are supporting and of organisational effectiveness issues generally. It has enabled us to develop a more strategic, focused and differentiated approach to promoting organisational effectiveness and helped us identify where we should be working with agencies to improve progress. It also tells us where to focus our advocacy efforts with an organisation and on what issues we can join up with other donors.
