Call for evidence outcome

Summary of responses: UK international development white paper, call for evidence

Updated 31 October 2024

This was published under the 2022 to 2024 Sunak Conservative government

Introduction

This is a summary of submissions to the call for evidence which contributed to the international development white paper published in November 2023. The evidence and stakeholder views on development submitted will form part of ongoing reviews. This summary does not constitute a government response to the call for evidence.

Background to the call for evidence

On 26 July 2023, the FCDO published a call for evidence that closed on 16 September 2023. The FCDO asked 7 questions to explore how our development strategy could address linked challenges of development, nature and climate in a rapidly changing global context through partnerships at national and global levels.

Scale of responses

The FCDO received 464 submissions from civil society (37%), academia and think tanks (27%), private sector (10%), multilateral organisations (10%) and government officials from abroad (8%) and others from 46 countries.

The list of contributors is included at the end of this summary. Forty three contributors wished to remain anonymous.

Use of evidence submitted

The FCDO reviewed every submission identifying and summarising important findings. Central themes included:

• wide-ranging and frequently cited support for the importance of genuine, equitable, strategic, and long-term partnerships. Support for moving towards more direct partnerships with developing countries, accessing local knowledge and priorities driving towards demand-driven responses which empower local actors

• the need to use these partnerships to understand, and re-evaluate where necessary, the perspectives and needs of both partners and recipients, and the sense that international development needs to reconnect with this local driver

• the need to think creatively and analytically about the problems and issues, trends and trajectories. Submissions suggested that ‘old’ analysis and solutions will not be sufficient to meet the new combinations of challenges and multiple crises the world faces

• the need to take a more proactive and preventative approach to humanitarian, climate and food security crises, conflicts, atrocities, and insecurity, mobilising collective action, increasing resilience, and using technologies to enhance foresight

• the vital importance of gender and equalities in international development – from a central role for women’s rights organisations at local level, and engagement of groups who have historically been marginalised in shaping policy and programmes, to representation of women at national and international levels

• the importance of harnessing research, science, tech, and AI to design and deliver creative and forward-looking approaches to solve global development and climate challenges

• the enduring importance of a reformed and reinvigorated multilateral system to support coordinated action on the biggest global challenges, which champions a stronger voice for and representation from the poorest countries

A summary of submissions to individual questions is outlined below.

Question 1

How do partnerships need to change to restore the credibility of international development and the multilateral system and regain the trust of the  Global South? What role should the UK play in this and what specifically should we do differently? What should we do to ensure we are listening better to those most in need? 

Submissions outlined rapid global change and pressures that require shifts in geographic priorities to counter Chinese and Russian influence, as well as other rising threats of conflict and instability. Submissions called for the UK to adopt more measured and consistent long-term partnerships to shaping international policies, working together with the world’s most vulnerable people. Submissions argued for locally led approaches to development and stronger developing country participation in international fora.

Question 2

What are the specific innovative proposals that can accelerate progress in international development? What initiatives, policies, partnerships, or technologies could result in accelerated progress? Are there big ideas on which the UK is particularly well placed to play a role? 

Many submissions recommended the need for a renewed UK vision. Submissions emphasised that the UK should focus on partnerships, collaboration and capacity-building and sharing expertise with the global South, including with grassroots organisations, likeminded donors and multilateral institutions. Submissions emphasised the need for country-driven responses, equity, and transparency. They also referenced the need for a reassessment of and recommitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Submissions called for the UK to use its diplomatic network for horizon-scanning. This would enable the UK to develop its understanding of multiple crises faced in pursuit of green growth, including the intersection of climate change and poverty, & rights and freedoms in fragile and violent contexts. Submissions argued the UK should focus on the changes brought by, and importance of engaging with, emerging technology and a need to bridge the digital divide, with references to the importance of information integrity and media freedom.

Question 3

What new ideas for development cooperation would make the biggest impact in, or for, low-income countries? What are the best ideas to accelerate progress for middle income countries which still have large numbers of poor people? 

Submissions tended to highlight issues and themes specific to the organisational concerns of those submitting evidence. There was broad consensus in submissions that new ideas required creating genuine strategic partnerships which build long-term mutually beneficial engagement, with a continued theme of local leadership.

Submissions encouraged the UK to respond to developing country priorities, decentralise aid to smaller implementing partners, & empower local actors with fuller recognition of the Global South’s expertise, ensuring they have agency in shaping their own development agendas. There were differing perspectives on how trade and financial investments could work together for greater impact. Submissions sought a greater UK focus on how to tackle the multiple crises of climate change, economic turmoil, debt and inflation and illicit finance. They recognised that the hardest hit will be in fragile and conflict affected states. Submissions highlighted the need for global public goods investment to transform the way we work and seek catalytic financing to galvanise progress. Finally, there submissions argued for reform of the multilateral system, explaining that the UK should use its experience and ‘development heft’ to drive reform of the multilateral system.

Question 4

How can Official Development Assistance (ODA) be most effectively targeted and built upon? How can non-ODA financing be mobilised to ensure ambitious, innovative, and transformational international development?

Submissions to question 4 mostly focused on partnership, strategic thinking, and innovation.

On partnerships, submissions requested a focus on long-term, equitable, strategic partnerships. They suggested these should engage civil society and local actors, and that they should prioritise local needs and approaches. There was a strong interest in the intentional inclusion of youth voices.

The submissions contained creative thoughts on the importance of integrated, systems-based approaches, and how to draw technology, science, and AI into more comprehensive solutions to interrelated problems. This included systems approaches to tackling humanitarian crises, combating debt, suggestions for disaster risk insurance, and supporting UK civil society.

Submissions on innovation included specific points regarding:

• technology transfer

• technology advancement for climate, health, and education, amongst others

• placing science and technology at the forefront of new solutions

• data-driven development

• innovative financing, including debt relief, private sector mobilisation, and greater collaboration between development banks

Question 5

How should scientific and technological expertise, private finance and the private sector, trade and investment, civil society networks and diplomacy be engaged to support global development action and accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

Question 6

How can progress on tackling ending poverty, economic growth, and the challenges of climate change be best brought together, in the context of Agenda 2030 (including building resilience, adaptation, and sustainable growth)? How can the opportunities be maximised? How can the limits and trade-offs be managed?

Many of the contributions to these questions were provided in response to other questions above.

Submissions called for UK to do more with its convening power, including:

• leading on the development of a robust compliance mechanism for biodiversity

• adopting a framework for education reform

• developing innovative financing solutions

• encouraging AI partnerships to accelerate R&D processes

• the need to ‘clarify what ODA is for’

On inclusion, submissions encouraged the UK to do more on disability inclusion and galvanise a genuine commitment to full inclusivity; to prioritise gender equality and tackle discrimination through funding and integrating a gender equality lens across its development and humanitarian portfolio. The value of UK soft power institutions such as BBC World service, British Council and Chevening was also highlighted.

Question 7

What are the top priorities for strengthening multilateral effectiveness in international development? What are the issues and challenges most suited to bilateral cooperation (considering all levers)?

Submissions provided commentary of how the international financial system is becoming less and less fit for purpose and that radical changes need to be enacted jointly to make improvements – most importantly to ensure there is adequate financing for climate protection and adaptation, and reforming the international system so that more financing for development can be unlocked.
