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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2023 answer text <p>The UK is proud to champion LGBT+ rights around the world. With no OECD Development Assistance Committee marker on LGBT+ rights, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is unable to track centrally all its spend on the issue. However, since 2018 the UK has allocated over £13.5 million to empower and build the capacity of grassroots LGBT+ organisations and human rights defenders. Last week, the UK launched a new LGBT+ rights programme, committing a further £40 million over 5 years. The aims of this programme include reducing violence and discrimination, improving inclusive access to public services and legislative reform.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 04/12/2023 08:12:44 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
