Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Written Statement of 30 March 2023 entitled FCDO Programme Allocations, HCWS705, whether each programme reviewed during the revision process was subject to an equalities impact assessment.

Answer

Officials across the FCDO's global network accounted for equality issues in their programme allocation proposals for the financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24. These analyses were aggregated into an overall Equality Impact Assessment that FCDO Ministers used in their revision, adjustment, and finalisation of FCDO programme allocations.

The Minister for Development will provide this Equality Impact Assessment to the International Development Committee in July, when FCDO publishes its country allocations in the FCDO Annual Report and Accounts 2022 to 2023.
