International Development

Afghanistan: Overseas Aid

Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of his Department's humanitarian aid to Afghanistan; and if he will make a statement. [282682]

1 July 2009 : Column 300W

Mr. Michael Foster: The Department for International Development (DFID) has worked with partners such as the World Food Programme (WFP) to respond quickly to the changing humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. Since January 2008, DFID has committed £22.5 million to support those worst affected by high food prices and drought. £17 million of our support was channelled through emergency appeals led by the WFP. These funds helped reach 8.7 million vulnerable people.

The 2009 Humanitarian Action Plan for Afghanistan was launched on 3 February 2009. Led by the United Nations, it represents a major step towards a coherent and prioritised strategy to alleviate the pressing humanitarian needs of the Afghan people. The plan will help guide DFID's response to future humanitarian appeals. It is available on the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs website:

Bangladesh: Overseas Aid

Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment he has made of the implications for his Department's aid programmes for agriculture and development in Bangladesh of the Tipaimukh Dam construction project; and if he will make a statement. [282798]

Mr. Michael Foster: The Department for International Development (DFID) has not carried out an assessment of the impacts of the Tipaimukh hydro-electric dam on our aid to agriculture and development in Bangladesh. It is an issue for the Governments of India and Bangladesh. DFID is supporting, with the World Bank, the South Asia Water Initiative which enables a process of dialogue among south Asian countries on common rivers and dispute resolution.
