DFID is committed to delivering on the Grand Bargain commitments and to supporting a more effective and efficient humanitarian system. Between August 2017 and October 2018, the UK was on the Grand Bargain Facilitation Group, where we sought to maintain momentum on all Grand Bargain workstreams. The UK has also focused its efforts on Grand Bargain commitments that are the most critical enablers of transformative change. The UK co-convenes (along with the World Food Programme) the cash workstream, which was assessed to have had the best performance across the breadth of its commitments in 2017. The UK has also been active in supporting the Grand Bargain workstreams, for example on joint needs assessment and accountability to affected populations.
