answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2017 answer text <p>DFID programmes are assessed by annual reviews during the course of the intervention and again by project completion reports when they conclude to test their effectiveness.</p><p>In 2016 the UK’s Multilateral Development Review systematically assessed the performance and effectiveness of 38 multilateral institutions, including humanitarian partners who respond to crises involving vulnerable people including children.</p><p>Agencies were scored against results, value for money, risk and assurance, transparency, accountability, alongside their relevance in meeting today’s most urgent challenges. This is a more rigorous measurement of humanitarian impact than analysis based on annual targets. In response, 30% of our core funding to UN humanitarian organisations will be dependent on improved results and effectiveness.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 14/02/2017 16:48:41 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2016 answer text <p>Operations started in Mosul and surrounding areas on 16 October 2016. UN casualty figures for Ninewah (the governorate in which Mosul is located) estimate that 332 civilians were killed in November and 566 civilians in October. The UN, the UK and our partners are clear that the situation in Mosul is a result of Daesh’s utter disregard for civilians. The Iraqi Security Forces and the Coalition are making every effort during operations to protect civilians. The UN cannot verify these figures and state that they are likely to be at the lower end of the scale. The numbers are not disaggregated by the cause of civilian deaths.</p><p>As of 9 December, more than 85,000 people have been displaced from Mosul, half of them children. The UK is supporting the UN and partners to assist these people and around 45,000 people still inside Mosul in areas re-taken from Daesh, including children. This includes vital humanitarian assistance, including food, water, shelter, medical and protection services.</p><p> </p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/12/2016 17:24:18 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
