Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what form of consultation the Government plans to conduct with civic society to measure progress on Sustainable Development Goal 5 for the Voluntary National Review in 2019.

Work on developing the UK’s 2019 Voluntary National Review is ongoing and we are consulting with a range of key stakeholders to finalise these plans. The Government will ensure that a wide range of partners and stakeholders, including civil society organisations, have an opportunity to contribute to the review, and intend to launch an online consultation to capture as many views and suggestions as possible.
