Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 8 January (HL 4423), what assessment they have carried out on the effectiveness of each programme they have funded; and whether this information is publicly available.

Our programmes undergo continual assessment throughout their implementation to ensure that they are on track for delivery, as well as upon completion of each individual project. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has provided numerous updates on its programme work in its annual Human Rights reports, as well as through Freedom of Information Act requests. This information can be found on the gov.uk website. Many of our projects focus on capacity building and the impact of our work has been, and continues to be, positive.
