Partly Agree 6. The FCDO paused the drafting of the progress report following the announcement of the general election and appointment of the new Government. However, the FCDO will submit a progress report, as part of a wider UK SIDS Strategy refresh exercise, which will reflect the new Government’s priorities, as well as the recommendations of the IDC report.
