<p>DFID does not have a bilateral development programme in Eritrea, but makes a humanitarian
contribution through UNICEF, until June 2015, for health, nutrition, water and sanitation.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Across our humanitarian programmes we consider key human rights
issues including issues of impartiality, protection, principles of do no harm, conflict
sensitivity, access to vulnerable groups and the needs of women and girls. In countries
where DFID does have, or is planning to have, bilateral development programmes, the
extent of partner governments’ commitment to respecting human rights and other international
obligations is one of four Partnership Principles assessed by country offices. The
Government has made representations to the Government of Eritrea to improve its observance
of human rights, and works with European partners on the implementation of the Eritrea
Country Programme under the Eleventh European Development Fund to help provide for
greater economic growth and opportunity.</p><p> </p>
