answer text <p>Merging the departments will bring together the best of what we do in aid and diplomacy, and create new opportunities for staff. The ambition, vision and expertise of DFID staff will be at the heart of the new department – taking forward the work of UK aid, which will remain central to our mission.

answer text <p>DFID has not received any additional resources to support learning on ODA across Government in the last 12 months. DFID’s settlement in the 2019 spending review includes additional resources for the 2020/21 financial year to provide more support for other departments to build their capability to spend ODA more effectively. This will allow DFID to boost our support to other departments spending UK aid, further ensuring that the UK’s ODA spend continues to deliver value for money for British taxpayers.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The information required to answer this question is not held centrally, and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Whilst it is safe to say that DFID Staff Members currently loaned to FCO have joint reporting responsibilities between DFID and FCO due to the nature of those relationships, we are unable to provide further information on staff more broadly. Each DFID Employee has one primary reporting line within DFID and it is information about those reporting relationships which is captured centrally. Some staff may have a secondary reporting line in to FCO but such relationships are managed at a local level and, as such, to draw that information from each individual department within DFID would involve disproportionate costs.</p> more like this
