The first meeting of the re-established Official Development Assistance (ODA) Board took place in February 2025. The Board will meet two times per year, and more frequently if needed. The ODA Board scrutinises ODA spend, driving value for money for the UK taxpayer and a stronger strategic focus for ODA spending across government. Its remit includes managing pressures on the ODA budget and overseeing and monitoring ODA spending across government. There are currently no plans to report on meetings.
