<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>
