UN Agencies: Pay Systems
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what discussions she has had with her EU counterparts on the proposal to introduce payment by results to UN agencies
- Answer
-
My officials have undertaken a range of outreach opportunities to discuss the planned ‘payment by results’ component of the voluntary core funding that DFID contributes to the UN’s humanitarian and development agencies. This has included a number of meetings at Permanent Secretary level with interested donors, formal presentations to EU counterparts at Director General level and a number of informal meetings at a technical level.
The former Secretary of State, Rt. Hon. Priti Patel, also hosted a high level Ministerial roundtable at the UN General Assembly in September, where the payment by results approach was discussed. Her speech from that event can be read here.
