A review, published by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) on Tuesday, also said the number of lives saved ‘were significantly below what they could have been, given the level of investment.’ The watchdog said programs by Britain’s Department for International Development (DFID) had failed to significantly improve the quality and sustainability of maternal health care services in partner countries…” (Ratcliffe, 10/30).
