Conclusion
It is also important that the alignment in aid and diplomacy is not used as an excuse to roll back the reforms that have ensured the UK’s IMF and World Bank positions are still staffed by individuals with experience of multilateral aid and major project management, whose skills will now be housed in the FCDO.

The UK’s IMF and World Bank positions should continue to be staffed by individuals with relevant expertise, such as experience of working with multilateral institutions and delivering major projects on the ground. FCDO will continue to house aid, policy, programme management expertise on which these staff may draw. FCDO & HM Treasury will continue to work together closely.
