uin	58671
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2017 answer text <p>DFID’s support to fragile states like South Sudan and Yemen is a combination of predictable development assistance and additional humanitarian assistance allocated in-year to respond to rapidly changing needs. In making our resource allocations, we take account of other donors’ pledges and encourage them to maintain or step-up the international effort alongside the UK.</p><p>For example, in September 2016, the Secretary of State chaired an international event on Yemen at the United Nations General Assembly, aimed at shining a spotlight on the humanitarian crisis. At the event, donors pledged over $100 million in new funding for Yemen, half of which was from the UK, and UN agencies committed to strengthening the humanitarian response on the ground. The UK’s financial support to Yemen in 2016/17 is now expected to be in the region of £100 million.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 16/01/2017 15:00:28 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
