Annual Review of Development Effectiveness
Annual Reviews of Development Effectiveness (ARDE) provide an account of the Australian Aid Program’s performance to the Australian Government and people. They draw on cross-cutting evaluations commissioned by ODE over the course of the year, as well as analysis of data from AusAID’s reporting and performance management systems.

The quality of Australian aid—an internal perspective
The quality of Australian aid – an internal perspective presents the findings of ODE’s assessment of AusAID’s own performance reporting. The key finding is that the integrity of the performance and reporting system is improving steadily and that Australia’s aid program is more focused on managing for results than ever before. This is a significant achievement in a year of unprecedented reform for AusAID.
