Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what transitional support is in place for non-government organisations reaching the end of a Programme Partnership Arrangement with her Department.

In June 2015 all Programme Partnership Arrangement (PPA) partners were given 18 months’ notice of the end of the programme. The final nine months of that period were specifically designed to enable all organisations to consolidate gains from Programme Partnership Arrangement funded activities and consider transition.

DFID officials are working with Bond, to provide advice and support for organisations to provide transition support where required.
