Mr. Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what aid and assistance was provided by the Government to improve water and sanitation provisions in developing countries in each of the last five years. [168794]
Mr. Malik:
A detailed breakdown of DFID support for the water sector over the last five years can be found in two reports titled Financial Support to the Water Sector 2002-2004 and Financial Support to the
Water Sector 2004-2006, prepared for DFID by WS Atkins Plc. Both are available on the DFID website:
Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment he has made of the environmental impact of the conflict in western Sudan; and what steps he has taken to ensure the long-term integration of sustainable resource management into recovery programmes. [166363]
Mr. Malik: DFID supported the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Post-Conflict Environmental Assessment for Sudan-2007. This concentrates on the links between conflict and the environment, including in Western Sudan. The report highlights competition over pastoral land and water in Darfur as a driving force behind the majority of local confrontations over the last 70 years. It also indicates a very strong link between land degradation, desertification and conflict in the region.
Further to this analysis, we are also providing £2.18 million to support a new sustainable livelihoods programme in Darfur in partnership with UNEP, the UN Human Settlement Programme and the UN Resident Co-ordinators Office. The programme aims to protect environmental assets, support strategies that do no harm, and promote environmentally-friendly solutions that sustainably protect the livelihoods of ordinary Darfuris. The programme will work with and through others to prevent deforestation, promote woodless construction and improve water resource management.
Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development whether the Government is offering support to countries which wish to use Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights flexibilities to produce, export or import generic medicines. [165206]
Mr. Malik: The Government support the right of developing countries to utilise TRIPS flexibilities and in particular to facilitate access to cheaper medicines. This includes the right to produce, export or import generic medicines under a compulsory licence. The Government strongly supported the EU Regulation passed in 2006 which enables European generic manufacturers to export medicines under a compulsory licence to developing countries in accordance with the amendment to TRIPS agreed by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 2005.
DFID has financed a number of organisations to provide support to developing countries to make better use of their TRIPS flexibilities, including compulsory licensing. These organisations include the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD). Activities include country level analysis of legislation and policy and technical assistance in the form of training and diagnosis.
