The International Development Strategy will outline the UK government's strategic priorities and approach to development. My ministerial colleagues have held meetings with several stakeholders, including civil society organisations, to discuss the Strategy, as part of our wider engagement process which included a public call for evidence. We intend to publish the Strategy later this year.
