answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Donor financing committed to education for the period 2012 to 2017 is currently around £220 million. No donor financing is channelled through government systems. South Sudan will be making an application for further Global Partnership for Education (GPE) financing from September 2015 to September 2017.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In 2012, DFID supported the Government of South Sudan (GRSS) to appraise its General Education Sector Plan (2012 to 2017) which aims to achieve at least 80% primary net enrolment. This included the costing of the 5 year plan, which was estimated at £940 million. The current annual allocation of domestic funding, around 7% of the national budget, would cover approximately £490 million of the total cost. The UK continues to press the GRSS to spend more of its own resources on the delivery of basic services, including education, to its citizens.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 29/07/2014 16:51:56 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover

tabling member printed	Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead
uin	HL1234
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p>Numbers of staff in the Sudan and South Sudan Unit vary to meet operational needs. During the South Sudan crisis, for example, the Unit’s staffing level was significantly increased to cope with the immediate impact of the conflict. There are currently nine staff working in the Unit, two more than in December, before the South Sudan crisis. However, over the past year there have been some reductions in permanent members of staff. These include merging the role of Special Representative with the Head of the Unit, merging the Sudan and South Sudan team leader roles and merging two support functions. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office will continue to ensure that the Unit is sufficiently staffed to meet UK objectives in both Sudan and South Sudan.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 30/07/2014 11:11:41 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
