DFID continues to closely monitor the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease in West Africa. DFID has committed $30,000 (£17,908) for infection control training and supplies in Liberia through UNICEF. In Sierra Leone, DFID is supporting Ebola sensitisation efforts in communities and through UNICEF has prepositioned medical supplies to districts on the Liberia and Guinea borders. We are also working with the Government of Sierra Leone on their Ebola Emergency Response Plan to help bridge critical funding gaps.<\/p>

In addition to our direct support, the UK funds a substantial share of contributions from the European Community Humanitarian Office, which has provided \u20ac1.4 million to the region to combat the recent outbreak.<\/p>

Increasing women and girls participation in politics, peace processes, business and public life, and as active citizens with a voice is central to achieving DFID's Strategic Vision for Girls and Women and is crucial if we are to achieve gender equality. DFID works through a range of programmes to address the long term structural barriers to women's political empowerment. For example, DFID is working with the BBC's World Service Trust in 14 countries to enhance political accountability through the media. Women's active and meaningful participation in all peace processes, as well as their representation in formal and informal decision making at all levels, is vital to international peace and security.<\/p>
