answer text <p>We remain concerned both by ongoing violent conflict in eastern DRC, and nationwide political tensions relating to democracy and human rights. Stability and economic growth are at the very heart of our strategy for the Great Lakes region, which is implemented by DFID, MoD and the Foreign Office. Politically, we are engaging at the highest levels, including via the UN and EU system, to seek a resolution to the current political impasse and conflict in eastern DRC.</p><p>British Military officers and stabilisation experts are embedded in the UN peacekeeping mission in DRC, shaping a more agile force, better able to protect civilians. We fund an £80 million programme to build peace in eastern DRC by establishing a durable political settlement at regional and national levels and addressing root causes of conflict, such as land reform.</p><p>The UK also supports economic growth and prosperity in DRC through a £100 million private sector development programme. The programme works with micro, small and medium enterprises to facilitate access to markets and raise incomes, and helps reform the broader business environment, making it more attractive to international investors.</p><p><em><br> </em></p><p> </p>

answer text <p>We continue to look at all options, compliant with international law, to alleviate the suffering of millions of Syrians. A pre-requisite for successful aid bridges is consent from all parties controlling the air space. The Assad regime and Russia have systematically denied humanitarian access to besieged populations by land and have refused consent for air bridges of supplies to opposition-held besieged areas.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are making progress to meet our commitments, made at the World Humanitarian Summit, on localisation. Globally DFID is the largest donor to the Country Based Pooled Funds and continues to invest in civil society consortia that support localisation. This includes through the centrally managed Disasters and Emergencies Preparedness Programme (DEPP) which invests in the longer-term capacity development of national and local NGOs in contexts of high humanitarian risk. In East Africa, DEPP supports 15 projects in Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan. Where we are required to deliver rapidly and across multiple contexts, such as in the east Africa food crisis, international assistance remains necessary to deliver at scale.</p> more like this
