As was made clear at the London Conference on Afghanistan, it is vital that women and girls are put at the heart of political, economic and social life in Afghanistan for the country to develop successfully. Gender equality is mainstreamed across all DFID programming, so our entire annual budget of c£10bn for 2014-15 will contribute towards this.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In Afghanistan, DFID programmes to support women and girls include both direct measures, such as training for female Provincial Councillor candidates; and indirect, including our support for education sector salaries. The latter has contributed towards over 2.5 million girls attending school according to the latest figures from the Afghan Ministry of Education.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1555", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justine Greening"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Putney"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Justine Greening"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-12-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-12-09T15:35:54.457Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-12-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Afghanistan"} , "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 projects her Department has which involve working with women in Afghanistan; and what the 2014-15 budget is for each such project.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/298", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve McCabe"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Selly Oak"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve McCabe"} ], "uin" : "216770"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/166041", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/166041/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

As co-hosts of the London Conference on Afghanistan (LCA), the UK government has agreed the overall invitation list in partnership with the Afghan Government. However, decisions on civil society attendees have been made by Afghanistan civil society themselves (rather than the UK or Afghan Government) through a democratic process in Kabul. At least 45% of these elected, sponsored attendees are Afghan women who are scheduled to contribute fully to the civil society event and its outcomes. <\/em>The make-up of the official Afghan government delegation is for the Afghans themselves to decide, however we will be encouraging them to ensure that this includes female Afghan representatives.<\/p> <\/p>"}
