answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2023 answer text <p>By the end of March 2024, approximately £5 million will have been spent on Arms-Length Body (ALB) overhead fees under the Blue Planet Fund’s Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP). This represents 22 percent of their allocated budget to deliver OCPP. The percentage of ALB spend that has been attributed to overhead costs has decreased each year of the programme, and we expect this trend to continue as more in-country partners are onboarded to carry out delivery.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 14/12/2023 17:28:11 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2023 answer text <p>Official data, sourced from the Statistics for International Development and OECD DAC Creditor Reporting System, is available for 2021. This data indicates that in 2021 59 per cent of FCDO bilateral ODA programme budget spend had a focus on gender equality (of which 49 per cent was marked as Significant and 10 per cent marked as Principal). As part of our new International Women and Girls Strategy, we will ensure at least 80 per cent of FCDO's bilateral aid programmes have a focus on gender equality by 2030. This is a reflection of how we are prioritising gender equality in our work and investment moving forward.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 04/12/2023 08:10:05 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
