	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>Following the International Development Secretary’s announcement of £100 million at United Nations General Assembly, total United Kingdom funding in response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria and the region now stands at £700 million. Of this, over 50 per cent has been allocated to projects managed by non-governmental organisations. Due to the structure of our funding, the fluidity of the situation, and the resulting need for flexibility, it is not possible to give an exact breakdown of the amount assigned to such projects, however we remain committed to supporting capacity building of local civil society in the longer term.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Jolly question first answered 13/10/2014 11:56:44 answering member 4203 label Biography information for Baroness Jolly
