Answered by Stephen Doughty

We are engaging with partners and stakeholders as we transition the Official Development Assistance budget to 0.3 per cent of Gross National Income. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) ministers and officials continue to meet stakeholders on a wide range of issues, including representatives from women's rights, and women-led organisations, both in the course of their duties and as part of a commitment to harnessing a wide range of perspectives to inform the FCDO's policy and strategy.
