We continue to consult with aid organisations in the Tri-Sector Group, including on the issue of guidance for NGOs working in countries such as Afghanistan. The Tri-Sector Group comprises NGOs, banks, and government departments and regulators, and provides a platform for dialogue aimed at addressing the challenges of delivering aid in high-risk contexts. As Lord Ahmad noted in his response to the IDC, the FCDO welcomes the engagement of banks and NGOs with regard to the guidance on sanctions, and we will continue to engage with the group to ensure it further supports the important work of NGOs and the financial sector in Afghanistan.
