This is subject to project performance as well as continued progress with key policy reforms, including on tax. Current plans suggest that £10 million of this will be spent through multilateral agencies. For future years the resource allocation process is underway and no specific budgets have yet been agreed.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 17/07/2014 15:15:12 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover
