Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have provided any humanitarian assistance to the people of Guinea Bissau in each of the last three years.

The UK Government has not provided direct humanitarian assistance to the people of Guinea Bissau in any of the last three years.

The UK Government provides humanitarian core funding to a number of UN agencies, who in turn have provided funding to Guinea Bissau. For example, between 2011 and 2013 the UK Government provided over $300m to the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), which in turn allocated over $3m to Guinea Bissau.
