The DFID Accountable Grant provides £17.7 million over four years up to 2016. IIED aims to achieve a range of impacts with this in the four main areas of our strategy: tackling the ‘resource squeeze’, climate change policy, building sustainable cities, and shaping responsible markets. In addition, we will work on cross-cutting sustainable development issues and continue to scan the horizon for upcoming areas of work.
During the year IIED progressed and completed over 270 research and communication outputs through the Accountable Grant, investing £4.4 million. IIED uses results-based management in a continuing drive to set targets and report to all our donors on our activities under each goal and objective.
Set against this, our flexible 'frame' support, which helps us innovate, has fallen from £4.8 million in 2009-10 to £2.3 million in 2012-13. This is a reflection of the current climate of austerity amongst the relevant governments.
Partnerships with people at all levels are crucial to our effectiveness. They enable us to coproduce new ideas, evidence and thinking. Partnerships create space for building trust between different interests and groups, and for key people to learn together and work out what they think. In 2012/13 payments to organisations for work on collaborative projects represented 35% of the overall charitable expenditure.
