The Secretary of State for International Development (Mr Andrew Mitchell)
Today we are publishing by Command Paper the Government response to the former International Development Committee’s report on DFID’s programme in Nepal. The report was published on 28 March 2010.
The report was generally positive about DFID’s programme in Nepal. The report also recognises the difficulties of working in Nepal, and the complexities and fragility of the peace process. The Minister of State for International Development visited Nepal on 26 to 28 May 2010. The visit deepened the UK Government’s understanding of DFID’s Nepal programme.
