	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2015 answer text <p>DFID is providing no financial assistance directly to the government of Burma. Indirect financial assistance happens in two projects. DFID supports a World Bank trust fund to assist the Government’s Public Financial Management (PFM) modernisation programme. Part of the fund is transferred into designated accounts which the Government and Parliament can use to procure goods and services to support the PFM modernisation programme. Use of the money must be approved by the World Bank and must follow World Bank procurement guidelines. DFID also supports the 3MDG health trust fund which uses some of its funds in support of the Government’s national health programmes, but without actual transfer to government bank accounts.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 10/06/2015 11:38:53 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
