Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to support civil society organisations in countries affected by covid-19.

DFID is speaking with all its partners, including civil society organisations, to understand and help address the challenges posed to them and their work by COVID-19. We are working collaboratively and flexibly with these partners to find pragmatic solutions and are committed to continuing our work with the sector to reach the poorest and most vulnerable.
