Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the adequacy of personnel levels in relation to delivering their women, peace and security agenda.

The UK's fifth National Action Plan (NAP) on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) recognises the disproportionate impact of conflict on women and girls and includes tangible actions across government to promote their vital role in conflict prevention through to resolution.

The delivery of the WPS agenda is a cross government effort, with personnel across five Government departments and two devolved administrations delivering on specific commitments. One year since the WPS NAP's publication, 75 percent of the 117 commitments are in progress. As a joint FCDO-MOD strategy, both Departments are committed to driving forward NAP implementation over the next year, including getting 100 percent of commitments in progress.
