Daniel Bruce: Why the new Dfid and Foreign Office team must lead the way in tackling aid corruption

Let’s use ever-increasing intelligence – and stop the flow of dirty money out of poor countries.

Lord Ashcroft: An open letter to Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the new International Development Secretary

I was delighted to see your appointment. I confess to slight bias, given that you retweeted an article of mine calling for an end to ring-fencing of the aid budget.

Edward Parson: Keep the International Development Department. But scrap the 0.7 per cent aid target.

DFID managed its portfolio with far greater efficiency than the Foreign Office. But it should improve how it aligns traditional aid objectives with Britain’s goals.

His critics claim his appointment as International Development Secretary “could lead to the death of thousands of the world’s poorest people”.

Nicholas Daniels: British aid should primarily be about investments, not handouts

Ultimately, it is economic growth not traditional aid which will support the growing populations of the developing world.

Lord Ashcroft: Special Report: St Helena – the island of fading hopes and dreams
