answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>The Caribbean is an important region for the UK, with which we have many historic and cultural ties, as well as shared interests and goals. As such, the UK wants to support the development of prosperous, resilient and secure economies in the region. We organise our work in this area under three broad categories: energy security, education, and security, all of which were discussed at the UK-Caribbean Forum Ministerial Forum in June of this year. <br><br>The Department for International Development (DfID) are currently launching a new set of development programmes which will run from 2015 to 2020. The UK has committed approximately £75 million between 2011 and 2015 and will invest a similar amount in the 2015-2020 period. The UK also accounts for approximately 15 per cent of the EU’s development funds, as well as being a major contributor to the World Bank and Caribbean Development Bank funds being deployed in the region, and has contributed some 48 per cent of the total funding for the Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience (PPCR). In addition, while DfID are the largest source of Government funding in the region, the Home Office, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Crown Prosecution Service, and the Ministry of Defence all fund activities in the region. <br><br>Specifically, DfID will deepen its development activities with Jamaica, Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia, Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda. It is our intent to support these countries efforts to return to growth while managing the risks from external shocks.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 04/12/2014 16:08:13 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text We are aware of the reports, not least the most recent one from the Women’s League of Burma, alleging sexual violence on Commander during his visit to Burma in January. In October the Minister of State for the Department of International Development, my right hon. Friend the Member for New Forest West (Mr Swayne), took up the issue when he met with Burma’s Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement. The UK has allocated over £300,000 to projects supporting the prevention of sexual violence in Burma. Prevention of sexual violence in conflict is also a key element of our defence the part of the Burmese army. These are extremely concerning and we continue to press the Burmese military and government to hold perpetrators to account. The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), raised this issue directly with the Commander in Chief of the Burmese military and the Northern engagement with Burma and is included, along with the importance of human rights and the rule of law, in any education courses we deliver to the military in Burma. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 04/12/2014 16:08:57 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
