star this property answer text <p>The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) was launched in 2012; we do not hold distinct data on tackling sexual violence in conflict from before that date. From the financial year 2012/13 to the financial year 2017/18, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office spent approximately £42.67 million on preventing sexual violence in conflict. In the current financial year, we have allocated approximately £3.38 million to tackling sexual violence in conflict.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Since launching the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) in 2012, the UK has continued to lead global efforts to end the horror of sexual violence in conflict, and we have committed over £44 million in UK funding across 26 countries. The Ministry of Defence has trained 17,000 000 national and international police and military personnel, including peacekeepers, on sexual and gender-based violence issues, including in Kenya, Nigeria, DRC, Malawi and Iraq. The UK’s PSVI Team of Experts has been deployed over 90 times, to build the capacity of partner governments, the UN and NGOs. We have launched the first and second editions of the International Protocol on the Documentation and Investigation of Sexual Violence in Conflict, and employed the Protocol to build the capacity of governments, judiciary, police, military and civil society to gather evidence of sexual violence in conflict and strengthen prosecutions. It has also been used by many NGOs and international organisations such as the ICC and UN OHCHR. To help tackle the stigma of sexual violence, we launched the ‘Principles for Global Action: preventing and addressing stigma associated with conflict-related sexual violence’ at the UN General Assembly in September 2017. These principles have been used by organisations including the UN, for example as part of the Stigma Alleviation Program in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The UK will host a PSVI International Conference in November 2019 to galvanise the world into further action, and demonstrate the UK’s continued global leadership on tackling sexual violence in conflict.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) is part of the UK's Women, Peace and Security National Action Plan (NAP), which includes our strategy for tackling and preventing conflict-related sexual violence. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is currently developing an additional three-year strategy on PSVI, which remains a top priority for the UK Government.</p><p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Department for International Development (DFID) and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) will all contribute to this strategy, not only in London but across the network of Embassies in countries where conflict-related sexual violence issues are acute. This work will be overseen by the joint FCO-DFID Minister of State for South Asia and the Commonwealth and Prime Minister's Special Representative for Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon.</p><p>Our PSVI objectives will remain to strengthen justice and support for survivors and hold the perpetrators to account; tackle the stigma faced by survivors, including children born of sexual violence in conflict; and prevent sexual violence in conflict. The Government will ensure the three-year strategy is survivor-centred, working closely with PSVI Survivor Champions throughout its development.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office follows UK Government monitoring and evaluation good practice, tailored to what is most appropriate for the size of funding we deliver and the partners we work with. All programmes and projects must contribute to, and help realise, a Theory of Change and be appropriately monitored throughout delivery. Our Grant Agreements, Memoranda of Understandings or Contracts set out the reporting requirements for implementers. A review or evaluation of every completed project and programme must be carried out, tailored to what is appropriate for the size of funding we deliver. We are looking carefully at these processes in light of the findings by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI).</p><p>The FCO works closely with academics and civil society organisations, including through our Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) and Women, Peace and Security (WPS) working groups, to share information and help develop effective policy approaches towards the Government's policy objectives. It is standard practice for PSVI experts returning from overseas to provide detailed reporting post-deployment, which offers vital information that informs the Government's overall approach. . We recognise there are further improvements that can be made on sharing PSVI information. Building on lessons learned is central to improving access to information on preventing sexual violence in conflict.</p>

Foreign and Commonwealth Office-funded programmes within PSVI moved to a two-year programming cycle between 2018/19 and 2019/20 to allow for more strategic programming, although individual projects were contracted for one financial year to ensure effective learning and deliver value for money. Conflict Stability and Security Fund PSVI projects on the FCO baseline already operate multi-annually. The FCO will consider future funding cycles for FCO funded programmes as part of its preparation for the Spending Review when it resumes.</p> more like this
