To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what aid his Department has provided for the reduction of poverty in Bangladesh since May 2010.
Alan Duncan (Minister of State, International Development; Rutland and Melton, Conservative)
Since May 2010, the Department for International Development (DFID)
has provided over £350 million in aid to Bangladesh. This has helped
more children to get a better quality education, reduced maternal and
newborn deaths, created more jobs and income, and increased the
country's resilience to climate related natural disasters. DFID has also
worked with the Government of Bangladesh
to strengthen democratic systems and institutions and improve the
Government of Bangladesh's public financial management systems.
