To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much funding has been provided by his Department to non-governmental organisations registered in Sri Lanka (a) directly and (b) indirectly since 2018.

Under the FCDO's International Programme between FY 18/19 to FY 22/23, we have contributed £519,492.40 with Sri Lankan registered NGOs receiving £489,492 directly and £30,000 indirectly.
