	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of humanitarian airdrops in Eastern Ghouta in the event that the Assad regime continues to block UN land access for aid provision.
	tabling member constituency	Manchester, Gorton
	tabling member printed	Afzal Khan
	uin	111608
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2017 answer text <p>Aid delivered by road by trusted humanitarian partners is by far the most effective way to meet needs in Eastern Ghouta and to ensure that it reaches those most in need. Airdrops are high risk and not capable of delivering many of the types of aid on a scale that could meet key needs there (e.g. safe drinking water, shelter, health support). Crucially, the consent is needed of those who control the airspace and those on the ground that could threaten aircraft. There is nothing to suggest that the Assad regime would provide such consent if it remained intent on blocking land access.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/11/2017 17:56:16 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

This is the only viable path towards the peace and security that the Syrian people deserve. In the meantime, the UK is providing food, healthcare, water and other life-saving relief to vulnerable Syrians, including internally displaced people, across the country.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 26/10/2017 16:48:27 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what proportion of UK Aid's humanitarian funding has been allocated to local and national responders, to fulfil the UK's obligation to reach the global target of 25 per cent by 2020 as set out in the 2016 OECD World Humanitarian Summit's Grand Bargain.
	tabling member constituency	Oxford East

	uin	109444
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2017 answer text <p>The Grand Bargain commits aid organisations and donors to achieve by 2020 a global, aggregated target of at least 25 per cent of humanitarian funding to local and national responders as directly as possible. DFID does not currently capture the proportion of UK humanitarian funding that goes to such responders. However, the UK’s newly published Humanitarian Reform Policy outlines how national and local actors will be at the centre of DFID’s work. DFID is making progress on this, for example, through support to the Start Fund (£30 million 3 year programme agreed until 2018) that provides rapid support to humanitarian crises such as a landslide in Sierra Leone, flooding in Nepal and Bangladesh, and displacement in the Philippines caused by conflict in Mindanao. Start Fund report that 42% of projects in 2015/16 were implemented fully or partially by a local partner.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 31/10/2017 10:40:46 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
