Recommendation 17

17 Acknowledged Paragraph: 58

Short-term funding undermines SIDS' needs-driven capacity-building programmes despite UK efforts.

Conclusion
This Committee acknowledges and welcomes the UK Government’s efforts to ensure that its capacity-building programmes in Small Island Developing States are driven by local needs. However, these efforts can be undermined by short-term funding horizons.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government partly agrees, highlights existing multi-year programmes for SIDS, but states further development is contingent on the upcoming Spending Review process, while also noting inherent limitations of multi-year funding.
