Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, in which countries her Department has awarded contracts for the drilling of water wells; and how many of those contracts were awarded in each country.
DFID delivers a range of water supply activities, through partners in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia all of which use proven approaches that deliver affordable and sustainable services.
In countries such as Mozambique and Nepal, these approaches include, but are not limited to, drilling for water wells.
Aid reporting codes do not allow for a detailed breakdown of the specific techniques for delivering water supply.
