DFID\u2019s policy in Sudan is that no financial aid or support should be provided directly to the Government of Sudan. DFID Sudan started monitoring indirect disbursements from Financial Year 2016/17 in order to ensure that any risks presented were appropriately managed. The time and resources required to collate information prior to Financial Year 2016/17 from implementing partners would come at a disproportionate cost.<\/p>
DFID Sudan can confirm that the following funding provided by DFID was disbursed by implementing partners to Government of Sudan institutions.<\/p>
The UK Government is a global leader in Research and Development for TB, and one of the largest funders of TB research worldwide. Increasing access to medicines and diagnostics in low income countries is a priority for DFID especially for diseases like TB<\/p>
<\/p>
DFID is a leading supporter of Product Development Partnerships (PDPs), bringing together the strengths of academia and the pharmaceutical industry, in public-private partnerships to develop new therapies and diagnostics for diseases of poverty. With these partnerships new products can to be developed for public health needs, de-linking the cost of research and development from the cost of the final product.<\/p>
As part of this effort we are investing £37.5m in the TB Alliance for the development of new drug regimens, particularly where current treatments are failing due to antimicrobial resistance. This includes an additional £7.5m, announced by the Secretary of State for International Development at the UNGA 2018 High Level Meeting on TB.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UK Government also supports applied health research relevant to TB service delivery, through a number of partnerships with other UK and global funders.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-15T16:21:24.553Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Tuberculosis"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what plans she has to ensure that medicines and dugs are developed by the pharmaceutical industry for people in low and middle income countries with TB.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3932", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Central Suffolk and North Ipswich"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dr Dan Poulter"} ], "uin" : "242098"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1110269", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1110269/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
In DFID's Disability Inclusion Strategy published last December, we committed to step up our work on mental health. We are taking a comprehensive and rights-based approach that promotes well-being for all, including those with psychosocial disabilities. We also work to strengthen health systems so that countries are able to meet the health needs of their population and improve the provision, equity and quality of mental health services, including building health worker capacity.

Following the announcement by General Haftar of his Libyan National Army\u2019s advance on Tripoli on 4 April, the UK has been working hard with our international partners to avert further bloodshed in the capital and to get the parties back to the negotiating table with UN Envoy Salamé as soon as possible.<\/p>
<\/p>
We continue to closely monitor the security situation across the whole of Libya to assess where aid can be delivered to alleviate the humanitarian situation.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are currently supporting the humanitarian effort in Libya through a £3.29 million programme which provides assistance to vulnerable people, improves access to primary health care, builds capacity of health care workers and bolsters humanitarian coordination and capability. We have also allocated up to £5 million to humanitarian assistance and protection for migrants and refugees in Libya, including targeted healthcare.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UK government has allocated £16m for Libya this financial year through the Conflict, Security and Stability Fund (CSSF) to boost political participation and economic development, and support the delivery of greater security, stability and resilience, including the fight against extremism.<\/p>
<\/p>
Furthermore, through our contribution to the EU Trust Fund, the UK has supported the EU and Africa Union joint commitment to significantly increase voluntary returns of those who want to leave Libya (as agreed at the EU-AU Summit in November 2017).

Working towards a living income in global value chains is one of the keys to driving poverty reduction and economic development. The Department for International Development (DFID) is a long-term supporter of the International Social and Environmental Accreditation and Labelling Alliance (ISEAL Alliance), the umbrella organisation for standards systems such as Fairtrade, and is one of the founding members of the Living Income Community of Practice. We support the development of standards that help smallholder farmers reach a decent standard of living. DFID also supports the Ethical Trading Initiative, a multi-stakeholder body working with UK food retailers, suppliers, trade unions and civil society to implement International Labour Organisation standards in global value chains, including cocoa.<\/p>
