Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how many charities and non-governmental organisations received funding from her Department for projects relating to the Rohingya refugee crisis; and which of those charities and organisations are based locally or nationally in the regions where those refugees are located.

DFID provides funding direct to eight NGOs responding to the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh. Six of these have a permanent presence in in Cox’s Bazar, which is the region of Bangladesh where the refugees are located. We are not funding any NGOs within Burma’s northern Rakhine State.
