<p>In Uganda, the Bridge International Academies (BIA) schools remain open with BIA
and the Government of Uganda in dialogue to ensure that BIA meets the requirements
set out.</p><p>There is no set funding pattern to BIA. CDC has a total UK investment
in BIA of $7.1m, made in 2014. The investments made were long term and will be returned
to the UK taxpayer, they are not specifically for any country of operation. A DFID
£3.45m grant, awarded competitively, was also provided to open 23 Bridge academies
in Lagos, Nigeria. This grant is now completed.</p><p>Any future funding decisions
will follow DFID’s due process that aims to achieve best value for money and developmental
impact, taking into consideration a broad range of evidence.</p>
