Recommendation
The UK is currently the biggest donor to the World Health Organization and the FCDO should seek assurances that lessons will be learned from this case. Failings identified should inform how the organisation will better interact with local populations and involve them in public health responses in future. The FCDO should set out how it holds the multilateral organisations that it funds to account when their safeguarding procedures are proven to be inadequate to prevent sexual exploitation and abuse by their employees.

The precise structure of the FCDO’s first annual report and accounts to Parliament is still to be finalised, but we certainly intend to replicate the approach taken by DFID in recent years.
