Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many Foreign and Commonwealth Office staff worked full time on the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative in (1) 2015, (2) 2016, and (3) 2017; and how many such staff are currently working on the Initiative.


This question was answered on 20th February 2018

In 2015, there were seven staff working full time on the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative (PSVI). In 2016, there were four members of staff working full time. In 2017, there were three staff working full time. Currently, we have a core team of three staff working full time in London, as well as surge capacity to support specific activities. In addition, PSVI work is mainstreamed and taken forward by staff around our network of posts, who advance the PSVI as part of a broader portfolio, for example, via the UK’s National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security 2018-22, which staff in a number of missions have recently helped launch.
