	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/10/2016 answer text <p>UK aid is supporting Britain’s interests through building a safer more prosperous world and helping countries achieve a timely sustainable exit from poverty. It is not possible to accurately predict which countries will require aid in those timeframes, but assessments of the likely trajectory of poverty in a country informs how we allocate resources. Programmes are largely focused on countries where extreme poverty currently affects a significant proportion of the population; is projected to persist over the medium term; where DFID has a comparative advantage; and, where the country itself is unable to finance their own development needs.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 10/10/2016 15:53:28 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
