Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much funding the Government allocated to Somaliland's police Rapid Reaction Unit between 2011 and 2020.

The UK has supported security and justice sector reform in Somaliland since 2011. This has included work to improve the effectiveness of the judiciary and prosecutors, the police, coastguard and army, in compliance with international law and in line with international human rights standards. UK funding for Somaliland's Police Rapid Reaction Unit (RRU) ended in March 2020. Exact figures for the amount of funding allocated to Somaliland's police RRU are not available, as support was provided as part of wider projects.
