To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what step she is taking with his African counterparts to help ensure that women in the West and Central African banana trade are supported and employed.
The UK's Economic Partnership Agreements and Developing Countries Trading Scheme provide West and Central African partners with preferential access to the UK market, supporting growth, employment, and development of resilient agricultural supply chains. This preferential access has enabled West African banana‑exporting countries, including Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, to strengthen their position in the UK market, underpinning rural livelihoods in sectors where women play a significant role.
We have also supported the African Continental Free Trade Agreement and worked with TradeMark Africa to strengthen trade corridors on the continent, including tackling the barriers that women face when engaging in cross‑border trade.

Digital technologies offer the potential to deliver bigger, faster, more transformative social and economic impact for all. We work to advise partner countries on inclusive and responsible digital transformation approaches. However, our Africa-related programming does not invest in global digital companies that contract local people to provide content moderation services. The FCDO is committed to delivering more and better jobs - seeking to improve job quality progressively and raise standards - both in Africa and in the wider world, in line with the ILO's decent work agenda and standards. The UK has ratified all of the ILO's Core Conventions underpinning the Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. The UK engages with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) on country compliance with international labour standards actively as a permanent member of the ILO Governing Body and at the International Labour Conference (ILC). The ILC Committee on the Application of Standards is integral to the ILO's supervisory system and the UK encourages all countries to abide by high labour standards.
