Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much money her Department has committed to improve child education in Yemen.
DFID supports the education of children in Yemen through two multilateral funds: Education Cannot Wait (ECW) and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE). DFID provides 32% ($4.8 million) of the ECW’s funding of $15 million in Yemen over 2017-19, and 15% ($10.89 million) of the GPE’s funding of $72.6 million in Yemen over 2014-19. DFID’s £108 million in funding to Yemen’s Social Fund for Development over 2010-17 includes £30 million towards education.
