Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to UK funding for the UNFPA (a) how much in total is allocated to projects in Myanmar and (b) if he will list those projects.
The UK is a leading healthcare donor in Myanmar, supporting life-saving maternal, newborn and child healthcare needs. Since 2019 the UK has contributed approximately over £3.2 million to Myanmar through The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). This includes funding UNFPA's multi-donor ACCESS to Health Fund project which provides technical support on sexual and reproductive health. It also includes developing the Gender Based Violence Minimum Standards Helpline in Burmese and English.
