IRC's UK International Development White Paper Submission

As part of the UK Government's International Development White Paper call for evidence process, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) submitted evidence for consideration. By 2030, two-thirds of those living in extreme poverty will live in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS). Furthermore, across many indicators, the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be achieved - or missed - based on what happens next in FCAS. In this submission, the IRC outlines why the Government's international development approach must have a sharp focus on those countries most left behind, and how it can do so.
