answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>Since 2014 DFID has provided £229.5 million in humanitarian assistance to help reduce poverty in Iraq, including by providing food assistance to over a quarter million people, emergency cash transfers to over 110,000 people and safe drinking water, toilet and shower facilities to more than 800,000 people. We have provided technical assistance through the World Bank to the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs to create a new welfare database and to pilot conditional cash transfers to improve access to health and education. We have also funded the UNDP managed Funding Facility for Stabilisation to support light infrastructure reconstruction and job and livelihoods creation in areas liberated from Daesh. Furthermore we provided a loan guarantee unlocking over $370 million of World Bank lending to the Government of Iraq, which has contributed to immediate economic stability while supporting reforms delivering more sustainable economic development.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 18/12/2017 15:52:14 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
