The complainant submitted a request to the Department for International Development (DFID) concerning an evaluation report into the Preventing Maternal Deaths Programme. The report itself was published but a number of detailed country policy analyses were not. The complainant sought a copies of these documents. DFID withheld this information on the basis of the following exemptions within FOIA: section 27(1)(a), (b), (c) and (d) (international relations), section 38(1)(a) and (b) (health and safety), section 40(2) (personal information) and section 43(2) (commercial interests). The Commissioner has concluded that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of sections 27(1)(c) and (d) of FOIA and that in all the circumstances of the request the public interest favours maintaining the exemptions.
