The papers will lay out how the international community together with the developing country governments themselves, civil society, the private sector and others, can achieve the International Development Targets and what DFID can do to contribute to that effort. These papers will inform forthcoming rounds of Institutional Strategy Papers and future Country strategy Papers. They will provide the basis for integrated working between DFID's efforts at country and regional level and with the multilateral institutions. They are normally produced every three years. The papers, produced in consultation with governments , business, civil society, and others within the country concerned and within the UK, set out how we aim to contribute to achieving the international development goals in the country in question.
Progress is assessed against the strategic objectives set out in each paper.
Institutional Strategy Papers are designed to set our partnerships with MDIs in a strategic framework. They are being prepared for all our main partner institutions, including the World Bank and Regional Development Banks, UN and Commonwealth Development agencies and the European Commission, and will normally be produced every three years. ISPs set out how DFID aims to contribute to our White Paper objectives in partnership with each institution, and contain action plans to assess progress against our strategic objectives.
