Question

Sarah Champion

Labour — Rotherham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will publish a list of the disability-inclusive activities in each of his Department’s development programmes in (a) 2022-23 and (b) 2023-24.

Answer

Sir Andrew Mitchell

The level to which FCDO development programme teams and implementing partners record and track specific disability-inclusive activities varies according to the scale of those activities. However, it would be disproportionately burdensome for partners and programme teams to collect information about individual disability-inclusive activities centrally.

The disability-inclusion policy marker for each FCDO development programme is publicly available through the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) creditor reporting system (CRS).
