Official Development Assistance: Bilateral Allocations

Contribution

I am grateful to the Minister for that Answer, and I look forward to the publication. The cuts to the UK’s official development assistance—some of the most severe across G20 countries—mean that the remaining bilateral spend will need to be targeted to remain as effective as possible. How will the Government monitor, track and publish progress against the FCDO’s six refreshed priorities? For example, on women and girls, which I am pleased to see is one of the six priorities, what discretion will heads of missions have, and how will the Government ensure effectiveness in these areas of bilateral spend?
