uin	11801
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2022 answer text <p>The majority of the £286 million pledged in aid will go towards humanitarian assistance. Our aid is vital and will provide life-saving support to the most vulnerable, especially women and girls, minority groups, and people with disabilities. We are also funding child protection support and supporting access to gender-based violence services. Discussions with our partners to determine contributions in 2022/23 are ongoing, but we will continue to provide significant support to partners, such as the World Food Programme (WFP), Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in addition to a variety of other UN agencies, NGOs and international organisations. Full details on financial allocations for this year will be communicated in due course. In addition to providing humanitarian assistance, in the medium term we are also working on the provision of basic services, such as health, education and livelihoods, which remain critical to prevent a worsening of the humanitarian crisis. We continue to explore solutions for their delivery including support for the payment of front-line delivery workers.</p><p>Following the full dispersal of our £286 million commitment in 2021/22 to humanitarian partners, we have additionally dispersed £4.2 million to the end of May in 2022/23.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 08/06/2022 16:08:09 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2022 answer text <p>As of 26 May, the UK had donated 82.7 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines, of which 36.5 million had already been deployed in country and the rest were with COVAX in the process of being allocated and delivered.</p><p>The UK has made available 100 million doses. However, global supply now far outstrips demand and countries around the world have greater access to and choice of vaccines. Dose donations are no longer critical. The challenge now is to ensure that developing countries can effectively administer vaccines and the UK supports the work of the COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership to deliver on this.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 06/06/2022 14:18:21 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling
