The UK is a global leader in driving more effective approaches to crises. We have led international efforts to strengthen crisis solutions and reduce humanitarian need. As a champion of digital cash payments, we have made humanitarian responses faster and more effective. Drawing on our expertise in disaster risk financing and insurance, we have helped to set up all four of the world’s regional insurance schemes, enabling rapid responses that save lives and livelihoods. FCDO wishes to work with Framework Suppliers who are committed to ensuring that the best technical development expertise is quickly and efficiently accessible to FCDO staff and colleagues across the civil service. The aim is to ensure that the UK development programme is at the forefront of international development best practice. FCDO’s professional advisers and programme teams need up-to-date knowledge, evidence, and expert support in order to ensure that our policies and programmes are well designed and managed, achieving maximum impact and value for money. FCDO requires expertise in four broad areas which will support the delivery of the UK’s International Development Strategy. The service will be accessible by FCDO and other UK government departments that deliver programmes funded by UK Official Development Assistance (ODA).
