Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much Official Development Assistance has been disbursed to local women's rights organisations in each of the five previous years for which there is data.

FCDO recognises that grassroots women's rights organisations (WROs) are critical to achieving lasting transformation across all our gender equality objectives and we are committed to stepping up our work in this area.

The below table outlines UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) spend on the 'women's rights organisations, and movements, and government institutions' sector, as defined by the OECD's Development Assistance Committee. It includes spend on WROs and on technical assistance to national governments and international institutions to progress work on women's rights.
