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>

DFID recognises the value of early childhood investments and supports a range of early years\u2019 research and investments, including integrated investments in nutrition, child health, water, sanitation, hygiene and education. Assessment of the impact of these programmes on the strength of health systems are made on a case by case basis at country level. Decisions on country and multilateral investments take account of context, programme objectives, the strength of evidence and analysis of the delivery channels that offer the best value for money.<\/p>

The Government is extremely concerned about reports of an increase in arranged child marriages among Syrian refugees in Jordan. A UNICEF report in January 2014 indicated a rise in the proportion of Syrian refugee girls who had married early (defined as before the age of 18) in Jordan, from 12% in 2011 to 32% in the first quarter of 2014.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Child protection is a central part of DFID\u2019s humanitarian response to the Syrian crisis and we provide multi-year funding to UNICEF to support their work in this area. In addition we also support organisations such as CARE, International Rescue Committee (IRC) and UNHCR. These interventions all have a child protection component. UNHCR and UNFPA co-chair the \u2018forced and early marriage\u2019 taskforce, which has developed a joint action plan to reduce the risk and mitigate the consequence of child marriage and forced marriage in Jordan, and to build the capacity of local organisations to tackle this issue. The UK also successfully lobbied the Government of Jordan to sign up to the Girl Summit 2014 Charter which is a global movement to end Female Genital Mutilation and Child, Early and Forced Marriage for all girls everywhere within a generation.<\/p>
