Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much funding, and for which specific programmes, is proposed to be provided for civic education in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the lead-up to the local, provincial and general elections there in 2015 and 2016.
DFID is committed to supporting elections and is looking at how to do this most effectively. We recognise that civic education is an important ingredient for successful elections, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
