Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proportion of funding allocated to Syria supports non-humanitarian work.
This question was answered on 18th November 2015
The UK has delivered over £85 million in non-humanitarian support to Syria, Jordan and Lebanon since the start of the crisis, in addition to the £1.12 billion that has been allocated in humanitarian aid. This has focussed on strengthening the moderate opposition, building resilience against extremists, fostering civil society structures in besieged areas, and laying the foundations for a more peaceful and inclusive future for Syria.
