We have already contributed £548 million to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment, a mechanism to support access for over 100 countries.

uin	185986
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text <p>The Integrated Review reaffirmed our commitment to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Following a thorough review, the FCDO's aid budget has been allocated in accordance with UK strategic priorities, which are closely aligned with the SDGs, against a challenging financial climate of COVID. Officials considered any impact on women and girls, the most marginalised and vulnerable, people with disabilities and people from other protected groups, when developing advice to Ministers.</p><p>COVID makes the challenge of achieving the SDGs even harder. Aid cannot do it alone. Mobilisation of domestic resources and private finance is critical, as has always been the case. The UK is demonstrating leadership on the SDGs, as one of the largest donors to the international response tackling COVID-19. And we will use our COP26 and G7 Presidencies this year to reinforce the importance of the SDGs on the global stage.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 27/04/2021 16:43:32 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Written Statement of 21 April 2021, HCWS935 on FCDO Update, how much and what proportion of UK aid will have gender equality as a (a) significant and (b) principal objective.
tabling member constituency	Birmingham, Edgbaston
tabling member printed	Preet Kaur Gill
uin	185987
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text <p>Advancing gender equality and women's and girls' rights is a core part of this Government's mission and we remain steadfast in our commitment to this agenda. The UK's Gender Equality Act 2014, legally requires all overseas development funding to meaningfully consider the impact of how it will contribute to reducing gender inequality.</p><p>The portfolio agreed by the Foreign Secretary will focus our investment and expertise on issues where the UK can make the most difference and achieve maximum strategic coherence, impact, and value for money. The FCDO will now work through what this means for individual programmes, so we cannot provide future figures. The proportion of UK aid spend in all areas of our work changes year on year, including on gender equality. The FCDO's ODA spend, including data against the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) gender policy marker, is made publicly available through the OECD statistics portal. The latest figures available (2019) show that approximately <strong>68% </strong>of the former Department for International Development (DFID) and the former Foreign &amp; Commonwealth Office's (FCO) total bilateral spend was marked principal or significant and equates to <strong>£5.2 billion</strong>.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 27/04/2021 07:44:54 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
