Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the potential effect of reductions in Official Development Assistance spending in 2021 on civil society organisations.
We are currently working through the implications of the cuts to the ODA budget for individual programmes. Once decisions have been made we will work closely with partners, including civil society organisations, to manage the implications for them and their work, as well as monitoring the impact on the sector as a whole.
