In addition, all government departments published Outcome Delivery Plans on 15 July 2021. These plans highlight how each department will support the delivery of the SDGs for 2021-22.

Following a thorough review, the FCDO's aid budget has been allocated in accordance with UK strategic priorities, which are closely aligned with the SDGs, against a challenging financial climate of COVID. Officials considered any impact on women and girls, the most marginalised and vulnerable, people with disabilities and people from other protected groups, when developing advice to Ministers.</p><p>COVID makes the challenge of achieving the SDGs even harder. Aid cannot do it alone. Mobilisation of domestic resources and private finance is critical, as has always been the case. The UK is demonstrating leadership on the SDGs, as one of the largest donors to the international response tackling COVID-19. And we will use our COP26 and G7 Presidencies this year to reinforce the importance of the SDGs on the global stage.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 27/04/2021 16:39:32 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
