The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office must not lose its development or gender expertise.
Recommendation
The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office must not lose its development or gender expertise. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office should commit to maintain development experts working on Women, Peace and Security with connections to local organisations and communities around the world. The Government must not cut gender advisor roles. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office must provide gender advisors to support organisations like GAPS with their work in–country. In its response, the Government should set out how it plans to achieve this. By doing so, the Foreign Commonwealth and 34 Development Office should make sure that the delivery of the new National Action Plan does not lose its gendered development focus and expertise.
