Press Release

A renewed emphasis on multilateral aid

24 October 2011

Right To Play welcomes last week's announcement that DFID will spend less through bilateral programmes and more through multilateral organisations.

This shift in allocating overseas aid will not only minimise corruption and improve DFID's ability to track the cost and performance of aid programmes, but it will further ensure that aid is going directly to those at the grassroots.

Right To Play implements a decentralised approach, working with local partners and Community Based Organisations on the ground. Together we identify train and build the capacity of local leaders, coaches and teachers to deliver sport and play based programmes.

Increased funding through multilateral organisations like Right To Play, that work directly with local community members to determine and address the specific needs of children and youth in their communities, will ensure that funds are directly reaching the intended beneficiaries.

'Addressing the real needs of children and youth is crucial to our work. In collaboration with local partners we can ensure local ownership, sustainability and the delivery of context specific programming, therefore offering good value for money while keeping the rights of the child at the centre of our work,' Stacey Cram – Advocacy and Campaigns Manager, Right To Play.
