answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2015 answer text <p>The UK is at the forefront of the fight against Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). At the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases in 2012 the UK committed an additional £195million to combat these diseases. We support programmes protecting millions of the poorest from a range of NTDs. We also support research into new drugs and diagnostics to combat NTDs. There remains a significant funding gap for NTDs. The UK is meeting our commitments. Others need to do more to support countries to implement programmes to prevent and treat NTDs.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 23/07/2015 14:01:29 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps

Annual Reviews of progress are available on DFID’s Development Tracker at <a href="http://devtracker.dfid.gov.uk/projects/GB-1-204426/documents" target="_blank">http://devtracker.dfid.gov.uk/projects/GB-1-204426/documents</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>DFID is committed to supporting economic recovery initiatives in CAR. The conflict that has affected CAR since 2013 has had a severe impact on agriculture, which represents almost 60% of the country’s economy. The UK has provided £27million since 2013 to the Food and Agriculture Organisation, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Common Humanitarian Fund and NGOs to provide urgent humanitarian aid as well as agricultural inputs and technical training to CAR farmers, and to facilitate cattle vaccination campaigns to support traditional herders. In 2015, UK funding will support the livelihoods of more than 170,000 people in CAR.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 23/07/2015 14:02:39 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
