<p>Further to my reply of 2 November, I can confirm that the Civil Society Support
Programme through which the UK supported marginalised communities in Ethiopia, including
the Manjo, was a multi-donor programme. Contributors alongside DFID for the first
phase of the programme were Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Canada and Denmark. The current
phase of the programme which will continue to have a focus on marginalised communities
including the Manjo will be supported by Ireland, Sweden and Norway.</p><p> </p><p>At
this time we believe the Ethiopian government is taking steps to address the challenges
which the Manjo and other marginalised groups face, and that continued engagement
in-country alongside our international partners is the best course of action. We do
not plan to raise the issue in the United Nations at present.</p>
