Accepted
Paragraph: 36
Disability inclusion not sufficiently integrated into FCDO policy-making procedures and departmental strategies.
Conclusion
Despite Government commitments, disability inclusion has not been sufficiently integrated into the FCDO’s policy-making procedures: the Disability Inclusion and Rights Strategy receives little to no mention across other departmental strategies, suggesting that disability inclusion is not at the forefront of departmental thinking.
Government response summary AI-generated
The FCDO stated that its current value for money approach already prioritizes equity, including people with disabilities. It committed to updating its equity and value for money guide and sharing it across its network, with an additional update to be provided by April 2025.
