This equality impact assessment demonstrates the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)’s compliance with:
- legal requirements to consider the desirability of providing development and humanitarian assistance in ways that reduce gender inequality in accordance with the International Development 2002
- FCDO policy to consider the Public Sector Equality Duty where relevant and proportionate
This assessment details the anticipated impacts on equalities of the proposed Official Development Assistance (ODA) allocations for financial year 2025 to 2026 before they are finalised. The assessment aggregates the total expected impacts on equalities based on ministerial decisions taken throughout the allocations process and sets out mitigations to aid current and future decision-making. 
As confirmed by the EIA, the allocations process for 2025/26 has protected against disproportionate impacts on equalities. We will continue to mitigate some of the negative impacts on equalities, including by putting women and girls at the heart of everything we do.
The FCDO’s 2025 to 2026 ODA programme allocations are in annex A of the FCDO annual report and accounts 2024 to 2025.
