Department for International Development written question – answered at on 15 March 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what financial support her Department is providing to civil society organisations in the Lake Chad region.
The UK is one of the largest donors to the crisis in the Lake Chad region, and has led the humanitarian response. Last year UKAid reached more than 1 million people. DFID’s response provides substantial financing through international non-governmental organisations and local civil society organisations. Most of this is indirect, through multilateral partners like UNICEF. DFID also provides direct financing e.g. £41m to International Committee of the Red Cross for the Emergency Appeal for the Lake Chad region.
