DFID and FCO continue to work closely together to ensure a survivor-centred approach to end conflict-related sexual violence.</p><p>Preventing and responding to all forms of violence against women and girls, including conflict-related sexual violence, is a priority for the Department for International Development.

In November 2019, DFID announced a new £67.5 million programme to prevent violence against women and girls – the largest investment by any single government donor to prevent such violence, including conflict-related sexual violence.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 27/01/2020 13:48:44 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

It will also reduce the quality, quantity and affordability of nutritious diets.</p><p>Countries that do not plan effectively for climate adaption are likely to see a reversal of previous improvements in nutrition and food security.

By 2050 there will also be an estimated 10 million more children who will be undernourished as a result of climate change.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 27/01/2020 14:45:18 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
