answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>DFID stopped buying bottled water for its UK offices in 2007. Mains-fed water filter units, serving chilled tap water, are installed throughout the UK offices for the use of both staff and visitors. The FCO now manage our overseas offices and are responsible for the provision of supplies, such as bottled water. DFID’s usage will be included in their response for the overall overseas estate to this question. In many countries the mains water is not drinkable and bottled water is provided. However, we do not keep any records of purchases or amounts spent; these are held by the FCO.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 30/01/2018 16:30:32 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>The UN estimates there is a major financing gap of around $2.5 trillion p.a. for developing countries in delivering the Sustainable Development Goals which will need to be met by the public and private sector. There is no internationally agreed definition of a Public Private Partnership (PPP). However, DFID supports developing countries in many ways to mobilise private finance, including through forms of Public-Private Partnerships. DFID’s approach mobilises much needed private investment in infrastructure and other sectors where private sector activity is limited. This includes projects financed through CDC, the World Bank Group, the regional development banks, and the Private Infrastructure Development Group. In some of these investments the government of the developing country will be the end purchaser of the services. In all our work DFID has a strong emphasis on value for money.</p><p> </p><p>The Public-Private Partnerships that DFID supports play an important role in providing access to services that might otherwise not exist in those countries. In the absence of this type of support, developing country governments would need to raise capital in debt markets to meet the costs of these essential investments.</p><p> </p><p>Details on the range of Public-Private Partnership projects that DFID supports can be found on the following websites: <a href="https://devtracker.dfid.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://devtracker.dfid.gov.uk/</a>; <a href="http://www.cdcgroup.com/" target="_blank">http://www.cdcgroup.com/</a>; <a href="http://www.worldbank.org/" target="_blank">http://www.worldbank.org/</a>; <a href="https://www.afdb.org/en/" target="_blank">https://www.afdb.org/en/</a>; <a href="https://www.adb.org/" target="_blank">https://www.adb.org/</a>; <a href="https://www.iadb.org/en" target="_blank">https://www.iadb.org/en</a>; <a href="http://www.caribank.org/" target="_blank">http://www.caribank.org/</a>; <a href="http://www.ebrd.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ebrd.com/</a>; <a href="http://www.eib.org/" target="_blank">http://www.eib.org/</a>; <a href="https://www.aiib.org/en/index.html" target="_blank">https://www.aiib.org/en/index.html</a>; <a href="http://www.pidg.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pidg.org/</a> and <a href="http://data.pidg.org/" target="_blank">http://data.pidg.org/</a></p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 30/01/2018 16:38:24 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
