Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to set up a dedicated budget for the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security National Action Plan.

HMG does not have a dedicated budget to support the National Action Plan (NAP). However, multiple cross government funds support Women Peace and Security objectives. Additionally, from April 2022 all Conflict, Stability and Security Fun (CSSF) projects will be assessed using a new Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Marker

In 2020 (the latest available year for ODA reporting), 6% of ODA funded CSSF programmes (£36 m) had gender as a main objective, while 65% (£348m) of programmes had a significant gender component.
