Recommendation 14
14
Not Addressed
Paragraph: 55
Amend reporting requirements for civil society organisations receiving UK funds to maximise operational agency
Recommendation
Civil society organisations act as a bastion against totalitarianism and a counter to foreign disinformation. We welcome the UK Government’s support of civil society organisations in Central Asia. However, this support needs to be fit for purpose and accessible to those organisations that need it most. We recommend that the reporting requirements for civil society organisations receiving funds from the UK Government are amended so as to provide for an appropriate level of accountability needed and allow the maximum agency in their operations.
Government Response Summary
The government restates the committee's recommendation regarding reporting requirements for civil society organisations receiving funds from the UK Government, but the response is truncated.
