These measures include rigorous controls throughout the funding cycle, from comprehensive risk assessments and monitoring requirements for all programmes, to due diligence checks on partners, and regular internal and external audits.

DFID complies with UK and international counter terrorism legislation and our funding agreements commit partners to understand and comply with this legislation.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 10/12/2018 17:28:04 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
