Conclusion
Collecting and publishing data on diversity in staffing is a key element of holding aid organisations to account. Only by being transparent can organisations share and learn from each-other. For the smallest organisations it might not be appropriate to publish diversity data if it could compromise employees’ rights to confidentiality but organisations with over 50 employees should do so.

In accordance with its reporting obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty, the FCDO publishes diversity information through the Diversity and Equality Report and the FCDO Annual Report and Accounts. Annually we also publish the FCDO Gender Pay Gap report. Requiring organisations that we fund to publish their diversity data may not always be either appropriate or possible, given the contexts in which the FCDO operates.
