Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the financial contribution made by (a) the UK and (b) other nations to the UN World Food Programme to meet demand on that programme (i) in 2015 and (ii) from January 2016.

Total World Food Programme (WFP) operational requirements for 2015 are £5.23 billion. The UK is currently the second largest donor to the WFP, after the United States.As of 15 October 2015 WFP had received £2.47 billion in contributions, of which the UK provided £252.5 million.

A full list of donor contributions can be found at http://www.wfp.org/funding/year/2015.Very few contributions for 2016 will have been made yet, and figures for 2016 are therefore not yet available.
