Ministry of Defence: Overseas Aid
(asked on 23rd June 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has allocated Official Development Assistance to any programmes that are targeted at supporting women and girls.
This question was answered on 29th June 2020
Only a very small proportion of Ministry of Defence expenditure counts as Official Development Assistance. The majority of this is spent on certain categories of Defence education. We have recently implemented measures to improve the representation of women on these educational programmes, in support of the UK National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.
