2005-06

£1.7m

2006-07

The 2010-11 figures include one-off start-up costs for the launch (in April 2010) and rollout of the Free Health Care Initiative in Sierra Leone.

These figures do not include the substantial health support delivered via multilateral bodies such as Gavi and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (GF). These funds disbursed US$38.9m (Gavi) and US$148.5m (GF) to Sierra Leone over 2005-2014. The UK has provided significant funding to both of these organisations and most recently pledged up to £1bn to the GF over 2014-2016 period and £1bn to Gavi for 2016–20.

China

Asked by: Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative - Stafford)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much her Department has spent in China in each year since 2005-06.

Answered by Desmond Swayne

DFID closed its bilateral programme to China in 2011. Our relationship with China is now based on identifying ways in which our countries can work together to promote development and the reduction of poverty in poorer countries or on global development issues.

Figures on Overseas Development Assistance can be viewed in the Statistics on International Development: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development/about/statistics .

Written Question
Overseas Aid
Monday 2nd February 2015

Asked by: Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative - Stafford)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much her Department has spent on projects in conflict states in each year since 2005-06.

Answered by Desmond Swayne

The Department for International Development has spent the following amounts of official development assistance (ODA) in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS) since 2005:

Year

DFID Bilateral ODA in Fragile & Conflict Affected States

(£m)

Substantial Debt Relief to FCAS (£m)

2005

£882

£3,288

2006

£2,430

£2,147

2007

£1,246

2008

£1,450

2009

£1,772

2010

£1,831

2011

£2,200

2012

£2,183

2013

£2,835

No distinction is made between those that are fragile and those experiencing active conflict for the purposes of calculating spend. I have therefore chosen to answer these two questions together. DFID recognises 55 countries as being fragile or conflict-affected. The list is revised every two years. ODA spend is calculated on a calendar-year basis; provisional figures for 2014 UK ODA spend will be published in the spring. In addition, DFID funds multilateral organisations, global programmes and NGOs delivering programmes in FCAS.
