Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much funding the Government will contribute to Italy's Rome Process; and what that funding will be used for.

The UK will contribute up to £4 million to the Rome Process, the Italian government's initiative bringing together international partners to tackle drivers of irregular migration. The funding will be channelled through a new multi-donor fund - the Rome Process Financing Facility - that will support climate-related development projects in Africa.
