Department for International Development Indicator Data
Input indicators
The indicators set out in this section are only a small subset of the data gathered by the Department which will be made transparently available as outlined in the Information Strategy. Where appropriate we will include a proportionate share of our core contributions to multilateral organisations in the input figures. Full details of DFID bilateral and multilateral inputs by sector is published in Statistics on International Development. The Department will adopt the following indicators to help the public scrutinise our inputs:
