The cross-government Fund is accountable to the National Security Council (NSC) and overseen by a Cabinet Office Minister at portfolio level. The cross-government Portfolio Board helps set the strategic direction and manages the overall Fund portfolio to ensure the Fund meets NSC objectives. The Fund’s Senior Responsible Owner is John Mahon (Director General, Exports for the Department for International Trade). The Fund answers to Parliament through the Paymaster General, Minister for the Cabinet Office. Responsibility for delivering programmes and impact lies with individual HMG Departments. They are also accountable for ensuring that spending meets the legal requirements of the International Development Act, the International Development (Gender Equality) Act 2014 and Official Development Assistance (ODA) eligibility requirements. Departments are accountable to the cross-government Portfolio Board for delivery and impact against NSC priorities when delivering Prosperity Fund programmes.
