answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2020 answer text <p>DFID is working closely with our partners to ensure the effective delivery of humanitarian assistance. As the second largest donor to the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh, with £256 million provided since August 2017, the UK is committed to protecting the Rohingya community, among the world’s most vulnerable people. We ensure consistent, in-depth monitoring, including regular field visits, though these are now restricted due to the COVID-19 crisis. We are also actively involved in UN and development partner coordination processes to identify and address issues which are affecting the effectiveness of the response. This includes active engagement with the Government of Bangladesh Inter-sector Coordination Group and individual sectors of the response working on, for example, shelter, nutrition, and reproductive health services.</p><p>We work closely with the UN Office for Project Services to maintain oversight of our support on the ground. We recently assisted them to establish an office in Cox’s Bazar, including staff funded by UK aid, to enhance coordination and routine monitoring.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 18/05/2020 15:54:24 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
