Details
The paper responds to the high-level recommendations of the independent Public Body Review of Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) funded scholarships. The review examined the:
- Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC)
- Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission (MACC)
- FCDOs Chevening programme
The review set out clear and comprehensive recommendations to make the 3 programmes more efficient, effective and accountable, and more aligned with each other.
The government accepts all the reviews recommendations, noting that some need additional budget. The government will explore new funding options in the next Spending Review. The government also accepts that further collaborative work with the arms length bodies and Chevening will be needed before all the recommendations can be implemented.
