	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2019 answer text <p>It is difficult to quantify the totality of DFID staff time spent to support evaluation of projects in these departments. DFID supports evaluation of project proposals through representation on formal cross-government or sectoral governance mechanisms, and through collaboration and close working of officials. DFID makes available its independent evaluation and quality assurance service and contributes to production of cross-government guidance. The Aid Strategy is clear that individual departments are ultimately responsible for the final design and evaluation of their projects.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 08/02/2019 14:50:53 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>DFID has received a large number applications from civil society organisations (CSOs) for financial assurance and we underwrite them on a case-by-case basis. Eligibility is based on criteria set out by the Government’s Technical Notice titled, ‘The government’s guarantee for EU-funded programmes if there’s no Brexit deal’, which can be accessed here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-governments-guarantee-for-eu-funded-programmes-if-theres-no-brexit-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-governments-guarantee-for-eu-funded-programmes-if-theres-no-brexit-deal</a></p><p> </p><p>Applications are accepted until 31 October, and DFID regularly updates UK CSOs to ensure as many eligible programmes as possible are captured. Following his letter, the Secretary of State for International Development met with many of them on 27 August. DFID Ministers and officials will continue this dialogue ahead of Brexit.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 09/09/2019 16:49:14 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
