The British Embassy is in close contact with the UN and UNHCR in DRC, and the UK regularly joins other members of the international community to highlight concerns with the Government of DRC over the situation of refugees and internally displaced people in the country.

In April this year the UK announced a humanitarian uplift of £22m, bringing our contribution to the 2018 humanitarian appeal to £100m. This makes the UK the second largest bilateral humanitarian donor in DRC.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 26/11/2018 16:25:03 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
