Frontier Technologies Livestreaming is one component of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)’s Frontier Technologies (FT) programme, which launched in 2016 and is itself a component of the Ideas to Impact (I2I) programme.
Triple Line conducted an evaluation between April 2024 and December 2024. The evaluation was commissioned to provide focused, utilisation-oriented learning on FT Livestreaming to inform preparations for FT3, the follow-on programme, particularly in relation to its structure and management and how it can deliver value for money.
Findings and recommendations were fed into the 2024 I2I annual review. The evaluation scope has focused livestreaming rather than other components of the FT programme. It has encompassed the programme since the outset, although with a bias to more recent years to reflect available evidence and provide the greatest relevance. The Technology and Innovation Unit within FCDO was the evaluation’s primary audience, with the FT Hub an important secondary audience. Parties within FCDO with an interest in technology and innovation were further audience, and the report was made publicly available.
