The information requested is not held centrally.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to support the monitoring of the 2023 General Election in Sierra Leone.

Answered by Andrew Mitchell - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development)

The outcome of the June 2023 elections is for the people of Sierra Leone to decide. The UK and Sierra Leone are close friends and we hold regular, frank conversations with senior government interlocutors and other key stakeholders on issues of good governance, the rule of law and the importance of free, fair and peaceful elections in 2023. The Foreign Secretary passed on these messages to Sierra Leone's President and Foreign Minister during his visit in March 2023. The British High Commission in Freetown's 'Promoting Democracy and Electoral Freedom' Programme supports cross community dialogue among voters in Sierra Leone, with a focus on inclusion and violence prevention. The High Commission will also be fielding on-the-ground observers across the country throughout the election period.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to monitor the distribution of Official Development Assistance funds within Sierra Leone.

Answered by Andrew Mitchell - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development)

The UK is a champion for international development and one of the most generous global aid donors. In Sierra Leone, as around the world, we work closely with the Government to support its own national development plans. Decisions on how to distribute funds are taken in Sierra Leone against the High Commission's business plan and guided by FCDO priorities, the Integrated Review, International Development Strategy and Africa Strategy. Most recently, UK Aid in Sierra Leone has supported inclusive education, maternal and new-born health, girls' and women's rights and energy access. Our funding goes to a range of implementing partners who are subject to rigorous procurement and due diligence. We adhere closely to best practice outlined in the FCDO's Programme Operating Framework, including results monitoring.

The most bizarre part of yesterday’s scrutiny of Johnson and the amount of times he lied and mislead Parliament, wasn’t that Downing St became the most fined premises for lockdown lawbreaking, but that Johnson ever set foot in the building. https://t.co/8HZQnwMBz5

Spoke in the Commons today on the anniversary of the first lockdown to applaud @Vimalpa95866836 & the campaign @letvimalstay & to ask the Government to recognise Vimal’s exceptional contribution during covid, as recognised by the Queen. https://t.co/ABCAzHXmx8

‘Some people calling for changes now were doing so before’ is a grim dismissal of legitimate concerns on @BBCWorldatOne from the #Ofsted apologist. Perhaps listening sooner would have helped? Any Southwark school with concerns welcome to get in touch.

Some support frozen below inflation, an axe to council funding (plus new council costs resulting from Govt policy) all means disabled people continue to lose out after 13 years of Tory misrule. https://t.co/4iyLhHQpkg

Blessed be the cheesemakers…?! https://t.co/6gYI90F7XS

It’s worth a tiny fraction of being in the EU but look how much they try to celebrate this poor imitation https://t.co/waMBWMiPkc

Avoid Old Kent Road if you can - big backlogs and emergency services on site. https://t.co/jDB3RwYsao

Tbf he knows how bad the trains are after 13 years of Tory misrule https://t.co/K8R9GaTS55

The Government has done so little to tackle other illegal drug use - why would anyone expect the latest announcements to result in anything more than passing headlines. https://t.co/ol8Vs1SUxr

Extraordinary. The Tories and their dismal failures throughout the Home Office shame the entire UK. https://t.co/JwV4LUkyE8

They never levelled up and only dumbed down debate because these Tories think voters don’t see through their lies. https://t.co/OMR4LatMuz

£21 billion lost to criminality by a Government that is soft on crime. That money could have been invested in infrastructure or used to tackle the cost of living crisis. What a waste. https://t.co/WX5yDzh7MW

Money from Moscow supplemented by Sunak (on behalf of UK taxpayers). https://t.co/mlfO5nXRur

Super-rich Sunak squandered £1.1bn of public funds - and his Tory Ministers are failing to address the loss, to recoup any money or to prevent fraud and criminality happening again. https://t.co/KQCmNc9RN7

No wonder Sunak didn’t penalise anyone for ignoring his whip this week - he is petrified of what Johnson’s fanboys will do at Tory conference and even banned media attending. https://t.co/fcFBmLazsq

@DonnyLebowski Thanks for asking everyone.

Great to see constituents in the office again yesterday. Drop an email or call and leave details if you’d like an appointment - happy to help! https://t.co/BNaXc1rw2L

There’s lies, damned lies and the Statistics Authority rubbishing Tory lies. Ministers must be held to account for the mistruths told in Parliament. https://t.co/lyUS7efFmT

These two don’t deserve their first jobs frankly https://t.co/hcSKIsdzdN

He’s getting another PCN?! This Tory Government has allowed criminals to get away with it for years https://t.co/EPygDrBVBi

I have constituents affected who cannot get family to safety: Afghans who fought/worked for the UK who have no legal means of reaching family under cruel Tory policy. They arrive by boat as humanitarian routes are deliberately severed. Rwanda is no way to honour their service. https://t.co/6yD5DpTQ9E

13 years in Government and Tories pretend to care now? https://t.co/i1P4Fdzn7E

Many thanks to ⁦@HadiSharify⁩ for helping interpret for so many Afghans and this case especially - raised for his brother who lives in Southwark and wants to see his family safe in the UK out of Taliban clutches, 18 months after the UK withdrew so catastrophically https://t.co/mA7xpt4Sqv

Tories searching for a poll lead https://t.co/xSLCmjDk5j

Wonder if he knows which of his MPs ‘woke up in a brothel with no clothes on’ yet, or does his political correctness prevent him even asking? https://t.co/a8jAzHuKX7

13 years in Government and a prosecution rate of under 2% for sexual violence, irrespective of the ethnicity of the attacker or woman/girl involved. This Tory Government is failing to protect anyone. https://t.co/a8jAzHuKX7

Tory mismanagement for 13 years needs urgently turning around. https://t.co/SuGS6aj8Rt

Made representations to the Law Commission about this on behalf of Southwark constituents. Glad to see proposals out today and will support sensible changes as they come forward in any required legislation. https://t.co/kdXwHdMiLg

I want to see the hospitality sector doing really well in Southwark and across the UK. Hope those who backed Brexit are all aware of the damage they’ve done; it is a factor here: https://t.co/2iKFvhWV1A

I’m sure the Tory hypocrite will be donating this second income he said MPs did not need to foodbanks… https://t.co/s5bV0a20pd

He’s done neither in 13 years. https://t.co/f92JyIGCgq

Another Tory on the take. https://t.co/jQnVZkfwON

Maybe Sunak should ask himself why so many Tory MPs are quitting despite all his cheesy guff… https://t.co/u5o7G4CRoM

‘Hurrah the CPTPP’ - The paper that said how great the Tory mini-Budget was, now cheerleading the deal worth a tiny fraction of EU membership. The latest fail from the Daily Fail in a very long line of dodgy hurrahs. https://t.co/8DxduorI1W

Tories opposed it - just like the NHS. https://t.co/Agj09dmG9M

Worrying https://t.co/Pxkfeg3N5J

No one ever said the Tory Party was all heart, but this was shocking https://t.co/jhT6p7gC7K

Under these Tories ‘unlimited fines’ for dumping sewage (under their legislation) probably means Ministers saying “it’s fine” “it’s fine” “it’s fine” “it’s fine” “it’s fine” “it’s fine” “it’s fine”. https://t.co/e9BtCuR9at

In these Tories’ heads it’s ‘unfair’ to say that Brexit has caused the things Brexit has caused. That’s how deeply ideologically damaged they are. https://t.co/cJDJYNpfGj

@seaniegriff She should shout ‘take back control’ a bit louder maybe.

Clearly printed a day early. https://t.co/A0bfSusIff

Meanwhile - the Tories lost millions in fraud, refused to tax energy companies’ excess profits and cut Universal Credit for working people. https://t.co/lipa0K8wha

National Minimum Wage was Labour policy for almost a century before being able to deliver it in 1999. https://t.co/Agj09dmG9M

He’s made a spectacle of himself… https://t.co/9ERkalfQ9O

Turns out it was speed they should have banned, not nitrous oxide… (I won’t give up the day job) https://t.co/WV4yCnQzSs
