Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, which three programmes in Libya receive the largest amount of funding from her Department.

The UK is at the forefront of international efforts to support Libya’s political stability and reform. DFID programmes provide much needed humanitarian and healthcare assistance to the most vulnerable. As part of DFID’s £75 million migration programme working along the Central Mediterranean route, up to £5 million will be allocated to humanitarian assistance and protection for migrants and refugees in Libya. In addition, a two-year programme worth £3.29 million focusses on multi sector humanitarian assistance and building capacity of primary health care services. Alongside this, we continue to help fund the European Union Trust Fund, which works in a number of countries, including Libya, where it focuses on improving conditions for migrants in detention centres. The UK’s total contribution to the North Africa window of the Fund is €18m.
