Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she plans to increase the scale of the Work and Opportunities for Women Programme in 2022.

The UK Government will continue to prioritise women and girls across all our foreign and development work. No decisions on funding for specific organisations or programmes in 2022/23 have yet been made to date as we are currently completing a review of future priorities in the light of the Spending Review settlement. Decisions on allocations will be published in the summer as part of the Annual Review.
