This enables us, collectively, to take further action to have maximum development impact and reach those most at risk of being left behind. The UK Government analyses information from various sources when assessing progress on SDG 5, including the United Nations annual Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) report. We also invest in and share research that improves our understanding of the challenges in meeting SDG 5 and what works in responding to these challenges. We work with partners, for example through the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s DAC Network on Gender Equality, to share analysis and identify common strategies for making progress towards achieving SDG 5.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 27/11/2017 17:14:17 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>It is critical that the experience of vulnerable and marginalised groups is included in assessments of progress on the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 5. DFID is supporting our UN partners to assess global progress on the SDGs accurately, by strengthening our data on vulnerable and marginalised groups. Our Data Disaggregation Action Plan, launched in early 2017, outlines our approach to ensuring we leave no one behind in our policy and programmes. This will strengthen our understanding of who, where and why people are at risk of being left behind. It will enable us to empower vulnerable and marginalised groups, and help to ensure they are included in assessments of progress and need, and in development policy and programming.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 27/11/2017 17:18:53 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
