Speeches by Gilbert.

“Thank you, Minister. What reprioritising in geographical or thematic focus has taken place since Yvette Cooper was appointed Foreign Secretary?”

“You have spoken previously about mainstreaming across women and girls within the spend. Do you have a clear idea about how those issues are now going to be mainstreamed and what that looks like?”

“It is great that there is going to be a plan and that there is a strategy, and we look forward to seeing that. Do you have any kind of timeline for what that looks like? I know you said it is to be confirmed, but do we have any idea of what it looks like?”

“You spoke about the measures you have to change to see what it looks like to make sure this is working across the new strategy. Could you tell us what that looks like practically, in terms of those changes to measure it and collect data, and its impact?”

“Do you think that the UK pays enough attention to the holistic approach that you have highlighted?”

“I and a number of colleagues have concerns about the upcoming PATHWAYS trial. The Secretary of State has powers to use existing medical records for research purposes. Will he therefore consider using those powers to increase the evidence base and prevent the PATHWAYS trial from proceeding?”

“Thank you. On that, Bryan, what does the UK do well, or maybe not so well, in its approach to reducing instability across Nigeria?”

“Thank you. Going back to Tog, how do you think the UK could improve its model on localisation engagement across Nigeria?”

“Thank you. Going back to Tog, how do you think the UK could improve its model on localisation engagement across Nigeria?”

“Thank you both for your answers.”

“Bryan, can you set out how your organisation works with local organisations to develop early-warning systems?”

“Thank you both for your answers.”

“Do you think that the UK pays enough attention to the holistic approach that you have highlighted?”

“That moves us nicely to localisation. I have a few questions for you both, but I will start with Tog. What support do local organisations need to better engage with international donors?”

“Thank you. On that, Bryan, what does the UK do well, or maybe not so well, in its approach to reducing instability across Nigeria?”

“Bryan, can you set out how your organisation works with local organisations to develop early-warning systems?”
