<p>The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs has frequent
discussions with the Minister for Development on the allocation of the foreign aid
budget. The UK will focus spend according to the priorities set out in the International
Development Strategy, which includes women and girls, while maximising the best value
for money and our flexibility to respond to new or emerging priority issues. Last
month, the UK hosted an international conference to drive urgent action to prevent
sexual violence in conflict and announced £12.5 million new funding for this. We will
be launching a new International Women and Girls Strategy in 2023.</p>
