Regarding that allocation and getting value for money, I have seen projects in a number of countries and there are significant differences. For instance, over 4,000 children were in schools and being provided with a meal every day. I saw a comparable project in the same area where a small number of children were being looked after for the same cost. What mechanism do we have to adjudicate on whether we are getting value for money? Is it delivering what we targeted?
