Written Question
Central African Republic
Monday 5th January 2015

Asked by: Pauline Latham (Conservative - Mid Derbyshire)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if she will contribute to the European Trust Fund for the Central African Republic.

Answered by Desmond Swayne

The UK is not a current contributor to the EU Trust Fund for CAR. We welcome the leadership of the EU on the humanitarian response in CAR and on programmes linking relief, recovery and development. The UK has committed £30 million in humanitarian funds to CAR and CAR refugees since July 2013, funding a range of NGOs and UN agencies to provide protection, water, health, shelter and food security. We are keeping the international response to the CAR crisis under review.
