No significant reconstruction is yet underway in Kobane, and unexploded ordnance continues to prove a real danger. In the current circumstances a humanitarian corridor is unlikely to be a viable or effective means of meeting needs, since the main obstacle to providing humanitarian aid to Kobane is unexploded ordnance.<\/p>

The UK Government has committed £427 million to eradicating the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, £216 million of which has been disbursed to support the response. This package of support covers the costs of UK operations in the ongoing crisis response, regional preparedness, and early recovery activities.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
As part of this response the UK has supported more than half of all the beds available for Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, funded over 100 burial teams, trained 4,000 frontline staff, provided three labs to test one third of all samples collected nationally and delivered over one million PPE suits and 150 vehicles. It is clear that our strategy is working and the numbers of cases have significantly reduced. This is real progress and cause for cautious optimism that we can beat this outbreak.<\/p>

Syria\u2019s neighbours are taking steps to ensure the safety and security of Syrian refugees, most importantly by continuing to provide protection within their borders to those fleeing violence. The UK is assisting the Lebanese and Jordanian governments with the management of their borders, and is funding the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, to provide guidance on best practice and to advocate for the safety and security needs of refugees. The UK also supports a number of specialised partners to help meet the needs of the most vulnerable individuals, including those with urgent medical needs, victims of torture, and sexual and gender-based violence.<\/p>

DFID Rwanda\u2019s 2011-2016 Operational Plan (OP) supports the Government of Rwanda\u2019s Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy 2 (EDPRS2 2013-2017/18). In 2014/15 DFID will spend around £67 million supporting delivery of basic services, in particular education and social protection; private sector and economic development; and the strengthening of domestic accountability and Rwandan civil society.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
By 2016, DFID support will seek to help 723,600 of the poorest people in Rwanda to get a job, or financial support to meet their basic needs; 44,200 children to complete basic education and ensure it is of a quality which enables them to pass their national exam at the age of 14; 4.7 million land parcels to be registered as legally owned, allowing owners to be able to invest in it to raise their incomes; and help 1.8 million people to have a greater say in their own development and to hold decision-makers to account.<\/p>
