Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Zinc Network

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many times Zinc Network Limited has provided his Department with copies of unpublished (a) YouTube and (b) social media videos in order for his Department to provide approval or feedback since January 2023.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) regularly provides feedback on videos for social media (including YouTube) from our project implementers as part of standard FCDO programming procedures to ensure alignment with overarching project objectives, and conflict and gender sensitivity criteria. Due to the risks posed to our partners and beneficiaries of these projects we do not publish detailed information about them.
