(asked on 23rd April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much aid her Department provided aid to Somaliland which was delivered by multilateral agencies in each of the last three years.
DFID does not compile formal aid spend statistics broken down at sub-national level. However, information on UK Government spend in Somalia through multilateral agencies, which includes spend in Somaliland, is shown in the table below for the last 3 calendar years, 2014 to 2016.
UK Official Development Assistance to Somalia, 2014 – 2016
| 2014 (£ thousand) | 2015 (£ thousand) | 2016 (£ thousand) |
Bilateral funding | 123,791 | 121,828 | 151,715 |
Of which was channelled through multilateral agencies | 56,769 | 41,788 | 57,614 |
Estimated core multilateral funding1 | 18,474 | 23,610 | 21,061 |
1. UK funding to the core budgets of multilateral organisations cannot be directly attributed to countries, instead estimates are calculated on the basis of the spend of the multilaterals in countries and the UK’s share of core funding to multilateral organisations.
