answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>DFID already releases funding to local and national actors in humanitarian crises in line with the objectives in the Grand Bargain. In specific terms DFID continues to fund the START Fund, the Humanitarian Leadership Academy and the Disasters and Emergencies Preparedness Programme (DEPP) as part of its Grand Bargain commitments.</p><p>DFID is closely following the Grand Bargain workstream on localisation, led by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the Swiss government. Currently discussions are ongoing on how best to track this commitment. Once an approach has been agreed, it is likely that an international mechanism will be used for assessing the commitment e.g. OCHA’s Financial Tracking System, which applies to all donors, not just the UK.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 30/11/2017 14:26:51 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2017 answer text <p>DFID officials have made a number of visits to Rakhine in the past two months and have regularly updated Ministers. Aid workers have been getting UK-funded humanitarian assistance to some people in parts of Rakhine State, however access remains extremely restricted in northern Rakhine. The UK has provided £1 million to the Red Cross in Burma, which is currently the only aid organisation permitted to provide humanitarian support in Northern Rakhine. We continue to press the Burmese government to end violence, allow full humanitarian access, and to implement the recommendations of Kofi Annan’s Rakhine Advisory Commission to address the underlying causes of violence and under-development.</p><p>DFID constantly monitors how we support the UK’s Burma strategy objectives of supporting peace, democracy and an open economy. We have been successful in reaching and improving the lives of many poor and marginalised people in Burma, many of whom have suffered decades of conflict.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/11/2017 17:54:30 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
