Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps the Government is taking to ensure that nutrition is incorporated within the UK’s commitment to the Global Partnership for Education; and if he will make a statement.

The UK Government is proud to be the largest bilateral donor to the Global Partnership for Education, which has supported 22.2 million children’s education since 2015. This can include providing nutrition to children, often in the early years of life, depending on the needs within the country. Examples of these grants can be found on the Global Partnership for Education website: https://www.globalpartnership.org/search/site/nutrition. The UK Government is a global leader on nutrition; we have reached 60.3 million people with nutrition services in 25 countries since 2015.
