UK aid for energy transition
What it examines
Reviews UK support for energy transition, including BII and PIDG. ICAI recognises mobilisation and technical expertise but finds fragmented strategy, unclear departmental responsibilities and gaps in results reporting. It calls for clearer objectives, better allocation across channels and stronger evidence on additionality. Government accepted four recommendations and partly accepted two in January 2026.
Why it matters
Connects UK ownership and funding of BII and PIDG to climate objectives and accountability. The review’s mobilisation measures and reporting periods differ; acceptance of recommendations does not demonstrate implementation.
