Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the recent NAO report, Managing reductions in Official Development Assistance spending, published on 31 March 2022, if she will accept the recommendation set out in that report on assessing the impact of the reduction and reprioritisation of ODA spending on performance in the short, medium and long term.

The FCDO continually assesses the impact of our spend in the short, medium and long term. Value for Money is embedded in everything we do in the FCDO. We ensure that our actions align with evidence to maximise the impact of our foreign policy and help countries to grow through enterprise, trade and development.
