The UK has continually been very clear in its messaging about the importance of Sudan respecting democratic norms and permitting open political space. DFID will provide support for the democratic process through our governance and economic reform programme, which has been specifically designed to respond to opportunities as they arise in Sudan. This could take the form of providing support to a range of civilian and civil society organisations to support their participation in the transition process. We also engage with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Global Britain Fund, which has provided support to democracy in Sudan through projects seeking to reinforce democratic scrutiny of government decisions at the National Assembly, and some support to policy making for opposition political parties.<\/p>"}

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is the largest in the country\u2019s history and the second largest on record. The UK has adopted a \u2018no regrets\u2019 approach to help bring it to an end as quickly as possible, minimising loss of life and impact on communities. We are one of the leading supporters of the response, providing funding and technical expertise to the WHO and others to break the transmission chain (through treatment centres, contact tracing, vaccination, safe and dignified burials, and other such means). Given the significant risk that Ebola may spread into neighbouring countries, we are also the leading donor for regional preparedness.<\/p>
With case numbers continuing to increase, it is important to maintain focus on the Strategic Response Plan and working effectively with local communities, particularly in areas of active conflict. The UK continues to actively influence the UN, other donors and countries in the region to ensure an appropriate level of preparedness and response.<\/p>"}

Building the capacity of local institutions is vital to help lay the foundations for future development in South Sudan. The UK is a lead contributor to the South Sudan Humanitarian Fund which has, for the last five years, provided funding to local NGOs including a significant percentage for internal capacity development.<\/p>

In addition, through the Health Pooled Fund and Girls Education South Sudan programmes we work alongside local institutions to maintain and develop their capacity to deliver basic services to the population, despite very low levels of government investment.<\/p>"}

The UK has a multi-year commitment to support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and we plan to continue to fund the Agency in line with that agreement. This will provide basic services such as health and education to Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank and the region. Both the UK and UNRWA recognise the need for UNRWA to reform to ensure its sustainability, and UNRWA has undertaken significant cost-cutting measures to respond to budget cuts and growing need. We welcome UNRWA\u2019s efforts to broaden its donor base and are encouraging partners to step up with more funding and more predictable disbursements. A long term solution requires a just, fair, agreed and realistic settlement for Palestinian refugees. Until that happens the UK remains firmly committed to supporting UNRWA and Palestinian refugees.<\/p>"}

Through the Conflict, Security, and Stability Fund (CSSF) the UK provides funding for the South Sudan Council of Churches\u2019 National Action Plan for Peace, which promotes peacebuilding, reconciliation, and mediation efforts at the local level, dialogue within and across communities, and between national level leaders.<\/p>
The UK recognises the vital role that women have to play in peacebuilding in South Sudan. We consistently advocated for the inclusion of women (as well as faith groups, refugees, and internally displaced people) in the peace process; and through sustained engagement (including with women\u2019s groups in Juba and across South Sudan), we will continue to do so as implementation of the 12 September agreement proceeds. While we do not currently fund any specific women-led peace initiatives in South Sudan, we continue to ensure that women are fully represented in all CSSF funded peacebuilding activities, including the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund, and the Conflict Early Warning and Early Response System.<\/p>"}
