📍The Govt has not yet responded to the International Development Committee report into WPS. ➡️Responding is an opportunity for Govt to show how it will action its commitments on WPS and women and girls. The delay is of deep concern and we will keep pushing for accountability.

Today the International Development Committee published its report on WPS. The report reflects several of GAPS's longstanding proposals. As cuts to UK ODA bite, it reminds us of the importance of upholding the WPS agenda globally and in the UK - we urge the govt to action its recommendations.

🧵Disappointing news for UK action on gender equality and the WPS agenda. The Government’s target was meant to ensure that 80% of aid spending included gender equality as a component. Losing this would be a significant step backwards. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
