This review found that the UK Department for International Development is well respected and well regarded. It has excellent humanitarian staff and has played a positive role in improving international response. Nevertheless, the review has also concluded that in light of the potential need in years to come, there will have to be a change in the way DFID responds. The review makes both policy-level and practical recommendations on bringing this change about.
