John Bunyan Fund for Freedom of Religion and Belief
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what criteria will be used to determine allocations from the John Bunyan Fund.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's (FCDO) John Bunyan Fund provides funding to overseas posts to support the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) for all around the world. UK posts are invited to submit applications that support the central objective of the fund: to curtail FoRB violations and abuses. Diplomatic missions have full control over the exact design and scope of project work to best develop an intervention that suits their specific in-country context and priorities and is complementary to any other financing they receive. Projects must provide value for money, have a clear strategic focus and realistic, tangible outcomes in keeping with FCDO priorities.
