Recommendation 9

Deferred
Create a British Investment Partnerships strategy defining expectations and publicly reporting progress annually.
Conclusion
A British Investment Partnerships strategy is urgently needed to drive effective co- ordination of actors within the BIPs and to ensure the International Development Strategy’s objective of delivering development in partnership achieves maximum impact. The FCDO must create this strategy, outlining its expectations of all parties involved in those partnerships, by 31 March 2024. The strategy must define inputs, outputs and outcomes measured by entity and progress against these metrics must be publicly reported each year. (Paragraph 49) Poverty reduction
Government response summary AI-generated
The Government's response addresses BII's internal processes for assessing additionality in its investments and its exit strategy, explaining how these ensure development outcomes. However, it does not address the urgent need for a broader British Investment Partnerships strategy or the specified deadline and reporting requirements for such a strategy.
