Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, pursuant to the Answer of 25 March 2019 to Question 234782, how many of the 74 staff already deployed were from each team within her Department.
Roles and matches are provisional and subject to change as the needs of departments shift. Overall the broad split of matched and deployed DFID staff is:
Directorate | Corporate Performance Group | Economic Development and International | Country Programmes | Policy Research and Humanitarian |
Indicative % of total matched and deployed staff | 12% | 28% | 29% | 31% |
It should be noted that DFID regularly moves resources between directorate areas, therefore this may not be indicative of an actual reduction in staffing in any given area.
All potential matches are made following the core principle of protecting essential DFID business.
