Twelve civil servants from my Department have been seconded or transferred to work (a) in other departments or (b) on other departmental briefs on preparations for the UK to leave the EU. So far, 3 have returned.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
EU Exit is an all-of-government operation. The Department for Exiting the European Union is responsible for overseeing negotiations to leave the EU and establishing the future relationship between the UK and EU. The Department for International Trade works to secure UK and global prosperity by promoting and financing international trade and investment, and championing free trade.<\/p>
<\/p>
Departments continually review workforce plans, reprioritise and assess changing needs, which includes identification and cessation of non-priority work where appropriate. We have accelerated our plans, and at the same time, the Civil Service as a whole is working to ensure that EU Exit Implementation is carried out to high quality without impacting public service delivery across the whole of government.<\/p>

The Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) takes its responsibility to do no harm very seriously. All CSSF programmes comply with the UK\u2019s domestic and international human rights obligations and have robust measures in place to protect the human rights of beneficiaries.<\/p>

In order for programme teams to be able to assess the risks of UK activity that could affect human rights, all security and justice assistance is subject to Overseas Security and Justice Assistance (OSJAs). The OSJA is a risk management system used across Government to assess risk and consider what mitigation might be appropriate. The OSJA Guidance specifies at what point Ministerial approval is required.<\/p>
<\/p>
In order to determine the effectiveness of project activity, all CSSF programmes are subject to Annual Reviews, which score how effectively programmes have delivered their outputs and outcomes. In making an assessment the Annual Review considers how programme teams manage commercial partnerships, risk and budgets, adapt to changing contexts, , as well as assessing value for money. The Joint Funds Unit (JFU) plans to publish the Rule of Law 2017/18 Annual Review summary before the end of this Parliamentary session.<\/p>
