answer text <p>The UK is shaping discussions on global learning from COVID-19 to improve future pandemic preparedness and response. Strengthening health systems is core, guided by FCDO's Health Systems Strengthening approach paper. The Prime Minister recently announced a £25 million UK contribution to a new &quot;Financial Intermediary Fund&quot; for pandemic preparedness. The UK will champion the importance of increased investment in primary healthcare in the design of this Fund.</p><p>The UK is the world's biggest funder of routine childhood vaccination, through Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. We are working with partners to help recover the losses in routine immunisation caused by COIVD-19, and to strengthen the health systems that will both improve routine immunisation and provide a solid foundation for responding to the next pandemic.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Haitian Government have not requested our assistance with the investigation and in accordance with our commitment to Haitian sovereignty and independence we are not rendering unsolicited support. It is extremely regrettable that the perpetrators of the assassination of President Moïse have not yet been brought to justice. This abhorrent act undermined the Haitian people's right to determine their own future democratically.</p><p>The UK continues to use our platform both in country and at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to support the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Haiti, Helen Meagher La Lime and the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti, BINUH, in their ongoing diplomatic engagement with, and support to, the Haitian authorities and civil society.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We have voiced the UK's deep concern about the ongoing deterioration of political and human rights in Nicaragua and the subversion of democratic processes, with Nicaraguan authorities in London, in Managua and at multilateral fora. We have issued statements condemning the repression, and imposed sanctions against members of the Nicaraguan regime responsible for human rights abuses, in coordination with partners. We encouraged members of the UN Human Rights Council to vote in favour of a resolution on 31 March 2022 to establish a Group of Experts on Human Rights with a mandate to seek accountability for human rights violations in Nicaragua. We will continue to raise our concerns, including on the expulsion of the five opposition mayors, and urge the Nicaraguan Government to end its repression against its citizens.</p> more like this

The Truth Commission's final report provides a definitive account of the facts of the conflict in Colombia, derived from thousands of interviews with over 30,000 people.</p><p>To date, we have spent over £69 million through the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) to support the implementation of the Peace Agreement in Colombia. As part of this funding, the UK Government has contributed over £26 million towards transitional justice mechanisms, which includes the vital work of the Truth Commission. We are committed to helping all parties implement the Commission's recommendations, and to supporting the follow-up committee that will supervise their implementation.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Tackling financial crime in Nigeria is the responsibility of the Nigerian Government. It is a priority for Nigeria, and the UK is committed to helping them. In February we refreshed these commitments at a National Security Advisor led dialogue in London on our joint Security and Defence Partnership. The National Crime Agency is helping to strengthen the capacity of anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria to investigate and prosecute corruption cases including illicit financial flows. In July, the #ProtectWhatsYours campaign was launched in Nigeria, supported by UK funding. The campaign aims to highlight the direct harms and costs of illicit finance and financial crime to the people of Nigeria and to encourage increased reporting on those involved in these crimes.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The ongoing violence and destruction in West Darfur is very troubling. We issued a statement on 25 April, setting out our concerns and the need for the Sudanese authorities to deliver their responsibilities to protect civilians. We underscored the importance of an independent investigation into the violence at the UN Security Council (UNSC) on 27 April and helped to secure a UNSC statement condemning the violence on 29 April. We are in working with the UN to provide humanitarian assistance to those affected and have urged the military to allow humanitarian aid to flow without hindrance. We have raised our concerns over violence in Darfur with the Sudanese authorities, most recently during a visit to Khartoum by the UK Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan on 25-28 June. We will continue to raise these concerns, to press the Sudanese authorities to deliver their obligation to protect civilians, and push for accountability for any crimes committed.</p><p>The fragile security situation across Sudan has been exacerbated by the political crisis since the military coup on 25 October. We are therefore pushing all political actors to engage in dialogue and return to a civilian-led government. We are also calling for the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement (JPA) and progress in wider peace talks.</p>

answer text <p>The UK Government remains committed to doubling our International Climate Finance to £11.6 billion between 2021/22 and 2025/26. This includes programmes specifically designed to help smallholder farmers in the most climate vulnerable countries access funding to adopt sustainable and resilient agricultural practices. For example, the £65 million Just Rural Transition Support Programme, announced at COP26 will support developing countries to design and implement approaches that help their farmers build resilience and drive investment into more sustainable methods of agriculture through repurposing agricultural policies and support. This programme will also include support to ensure that farmers, including smallholders, are involved in policy-making processes, for example through consultations, trials and pilot programmes for new technologies and approaches. We are also supporting the Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness programme to work with producer organisations and agri-businesses in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to increase sourcing of agri-food products from smallholder farmers and to help farmers adopt climate-smart and productivity-enhancing agriculture technologies.</p><p>As well as supporting developing countries through UK Aid funded programmes we, together with the World Bank, convene a Policy Dialogue on Accelerating Transition to Sustainable Agriculture through redirecting public policies and support and scaling innovation. This has brought more than 30 countries together from across the globe to share evidence and experience and collectively raise ambition.</p>
