<p>The Government is committed to producing the next UK National Action Plan on Women,
Peace and Security, in a focused, consultative and inclusive way. While HMG funding
on Women, Peace and Security is focused on the implementation rather than the production
of the UK National Action Plan, we have provided funding to enable civil society consultations
in four focus countries and we are working with partners to ensure UK civil society
and academic views are taken into account in the revision of the UK National Action
Plan. The Government has funded an external, independent evaluation of the current
UK National Action Plan, which will make recommendations for the next iteration of
the plan for the next financial year to include research on stigma and preventing
sexual violence against men and boys. This is part of our on-going efforts to produce
an evidence base to inform and shape our Women, Peace and Security policy and more
broadly on Gender Equality/Women and Girls, where there is a wide volume of funding
for research, including through DFID funding.</p>
