This information is not held centrally. The UK International Development Act (Gender Equality) 2014 makes a consideration of gender equality in all UK development assistance a legal requirement. The Act puts the UK ODA commitment to gender equality on a statutory footing and ensures that gender equality remains at the heart of the UK's and the FCDO's ODA work.
