Response: The Integrated Delivery Plan covered the periods from 2015 to 2018 and 2018 to 2020. In 2021, following the creation of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and shaped by the outcome of the Integrated Review (IR), the Integrated Delivery Plan was replaced by a new Country Plan that captures the full range of UK activity in Pakistan, including security, economy and trade, consular assistance and political engagement. The Country Plan is an internal document, but the broad direction and priorities have been shared with the government of Pakistan, implementing partners, and international donor partners. The High Commission in Islamabad structure their work around and measure progress against the six campaign goals in the Business Plan. These include Health and Education, Climate and Resilience, and Open Societies, as well as Regional Stability, reducing Threats to the UK, and promoting Prosperity. A light-touch review of the Country Business Plan will take place in the next few months to ensure close alignment of UK aid with the IR objectives, as set out in the International Development Strategy.
