Ensure UK and partners disaggregate programme data by age, gender, ability, and displacement status
The FCDO should ensure that the UK and partners disaggregate monitoring and programme data by age, gender, ability and displacement status at a minimum; do so systematically; and make this data available publicly. (Recommendation, Paragraph 104) 37
Government Response
The government states it already disaggregates data by age, gender, and ability. It will explore implementing disaggregation by displacement status in a future programme management system.
