When developing
policies, DFID recognises that consulting with a wide range of interested groups
helps to ensure that the impact of its proposals on different sectors of society
is taken into account.
DFID intends wherever possible to carry out public consultations as recommended
in the Caribbean Regional Assistance Plan for the Caribbean for 2007 – 2010.
The Code aims to increase the involvement of individuals and groups in public
consultations, minimising the burden it imposes on them, and giving them enough
time to respond.
This guidance is used in conjunction with the Compact
between the government and the voluntary and community sector which includes a
specific code of good practice on ‘Consultation and Policy Appraisal’.
If you would like to take part in DFID public consultations, information will be
posted on these pages.

Update on DFID’s Caribbean Forward Strategy
DFID would like to thank the wide range of people and organisations who
contributed, for taking time to comment on our draft Caribbean Regional
Assistance Plan for the Caribbean for 2007 – 2010. Our consultations in the
region, in the UK and on our website all provided helpful insights which we have
incorporated into our thinking about DFID's forward direction the region.
On the basis of this and other input, we have decided to deepen our analysis
of the prospects for growth and poverty reduction in the region, upon which our
forward strategy will be based. Over the next few months, we will be outlining a
plan and timetable to conduct this analysis and to update the overall
medium-term approach for our work in the region.
We remain committed to working with others to help reduce poverty and promote
growth in the Caribbean.

DFID Mozambique launches new Country Assistance Plan and Country Governance
Analysis for consultation
In 1990 Mozambique was the poorest country in the world. Since peace was
restored in 1992, Mozambique has made huge strides in sustaining peace and
stability, generating economic growth and tackling poverty. Much has been done,
but huge challenges remain. The new PRSP agreed in May 2006 (known as PARPA II),
sets out targets which put Mozambique on track for reaching the majority of the
MDGs by 2015. However, reaching these targets will require further progress,
particularly in the area of service delivery. DFID Mozambique has produced a
draft of their new CAP which is closely aligned to PARPA II and a new draft
Country Governance Assessment which was prepared in close collaboration with the
British High Commission in Maputo.
The consultation process will run from 1st October until 31st December 2007.
We very much value the views of the external stakeholders on our work in
Mozambique and we look forward to receiving your comments.
We would request that all comments are sent to the following email address:
