answer text <p>There is a robust framework in place for allocating Official Developmental Assistance (ODA) and the UK works with trusted international partners, such as the UN, to ensure strong safeguards against aid diversion are in place. This includes due diligence assessments, audits, spot checks and annual reviews. This comprehensive oversight prevents UK aid from benefitting Hamas.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Progressing gender equality, through the protection and promotion of the rights and inclusion of women and girls and addressing gender-specific impacts of conflict, is a fundamental driver of all CSSF programming. Women, peace and security is one of the four Fund-level outcomes, each of which shapes the nature of CSSF programming. This means work on gender is addressed not just by the Gender, Peace and Security Portfolio but the Fund as a whole.</p><p>From April 2022 all CSSF projects will be assessed using a new Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Marker, replacing the existing Gender Equality Policy Marker, which has been in use since 2016. This will drive standards for GESI across CSSF and promote learning and adaptation, while also ensuring compliance with relevant legislation.</p><p>In 2020 (the latest available year for ODA reporting), 6% of ODA funded CSSF programmes (£36 m) had gender as a main objective, while 65% (£348m) of programmes had a significant gender component.</p><p>Spend by portfolio for FY22/23 will be announced, as usual, when the Written Ministerial Statement to accompany the Annual Report is laid before Parliament, later in the year. This ensures that Ministers retain sufficient in-year flexibility to pivot funding in delivery of the most pressing national security objectives.</p>

answer text <p>The British Government remains concerned about the crisis in the North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon. We welcome the convening of the National Dialogue in Cameroon from 30 September to 4 October and the release of 333 prisoners arrested in connection with the crisis. We hope these developments will build confidence among all parties to engage in efforts to bring peace to the North-West and South-West regions. Inclusive discussions about the root causes of people's grievances and follow up on recommendations made at the National Dialogue are urgently needed to maintain momentum. The UK continues to urge the Government of Cameroon to ensure that due process is followed for all those who remain in detention. Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right and must be respected at all times.</p> more like this
