answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2016 answer text <p>DFID recognises the importance to collect disaggregated data that describes the distinct experiences of people across different stages in their lifecycle. We welcome the agreement of the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) on a global indicator framework for the Sustainable Development Goals, which includes clear levels of disaggregation by age for relevant indicators, ensuring that countries are able to plan and monitor the impact for elderly people in order to leave no one behind.</p><p>We are supporting various programmes to strengthen the capacity of national statistical systems to produce the data that is needed. DFID also recently hosted a multi-stakeholder seminar to raise awareness for the importance of age data disaggregation and to address the technical challenges with age data disaggregation across the lifecycle, and the next steps include developing a DFID data disaggregation action plan.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 06/05/2016 08:58:35 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2016 answer text <p>At the &quot;Supporting Syria and the Region London 2016&quot; Conference on 4 February more than US$11 billion was pledged to support people in Syria and the region affected by the conflict. This is the largest amount raised in one day for a humanitarian crisis. The UK remains at the forefront of the response to the crisis in Syria and the region. We have doubled our commitment and have now pledged a total more than £2.3 billion, our largest ever response to a single humanitarian crisis.</p><p>The international community pledged $5.9 billion for 2016 and a further $5.4 billion has been committed for 2017-20 to enable partners to plan ahead. Germany and the UK made the largest bilateral funding announcements at the London Conference - both for 2016 and outer years - followed by Norway, the United States and Japan. A full breakdown of funding announcements at the London Conference by country can be found on the Conference website: <a href="https://www.supportingsyria2016.com/news/co-hosts-statemtent-annex-fundraising/" target="_blank">https://www.supportingsyria2016.com/news/co-hosts-statemtent-annex-fundraising/</a></p><p>We are working closely with the United Nations to understand how the funding announced by the international community will be allocated across Syria and the region. The United Nations will track pledges made towards the 2016 UN-coordinated inter-agency appeals for Syria and the region, and we will work alongside the UN to ensure these pledges are disbursed quickly and maintain the momentum on fundraising over the longer-term.
