answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2020 answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office follows UK Government monitoring and evaluation good practice, tailored to what is most appropriate for the size of funding we deliver and the partners we work with. All programmes and projects must contribute to, and help realise, a Theory of Change and be appropriately monitored throughout delivery. Our Grant Agreements, Memoranda of Understandings or Contracts set out the reporting requirements for implementers. A review or evaluation of every completed project and programme must be carried out, tailored to what is appropriate for the size of funding we deliver. We are looking carefully at these processes in light of the findings by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI).</p><p>The FCO works closely with academics and civil society organisations, including through our Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) and Women, Peace and Security (WPS) working groups, to share information and help develop effective policy approaches towards the Government's policy objectives. It is standard practice for PSVI experts returning from overseas to provide detailed reporting post-deployment, which offers vital information that informs the Government's overall approach. . We recognise there are further improvements that can be made on sharing PSVI information. Building on lessons learned is central to improving access to information on preventing sexual violence in conflict.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 19/03/2020 15:33:05 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
