Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, for what reason her Department decided to reduce non-humanitarian funding to Liberia from 2013-14 to 2014-15.

The UK Government is committed to spending 0.7% of GNI on overseas development. The level of support provided to individual countries is determined by a detailed analysis of development opportunities and where UK taxpayers’ money can be spent most effectively to achieve results and value for money.
