Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how much Official Development Assistance has been allocated to (a) trade and economic development, (b) governance and (c) human rights programmes in Cambodia.

​

For the current financial year (18/19) there is no Official Development Assistance (ODA) allocation specifically for trade and economic development or governance in Cambodia. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office currently has £332,500 allocated to human rights programmes in Cambodia for this year.

In previous years, the UK has allocated ODA to a number of projects in Cambodia including the Global Action Mine Programme which since 2014 has provided £3.9 million in funds. The UK also supports a series of programmes on access to education, volunteer schemes and continues to support the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) which addresses the prosecutions of crimes committed during the period of the Khmer Rouge.
