Caribbean: Development Aid
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what proportion of UK-funded international programmes in the Caribbean include objectives relating to gender equality.
Answered by Chris Elmore
As the Foreign Secretary announced on 19 March, we have committed to ensure that at least 90 per cent of programmes funded worldwide through UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) will be in part designed to protect and promote the rights, safety and empowerment of women and girls, including programmes in the Caribbean.
