<p>Official Development Assistance spend allocated to our Embassy in Manila in 2017-18
was £230,000. Of this between £40,000 - £50,000 is being spent on projects relating
to public health effects of drug use and abuse. This does not include the Newton Agham
Programme or the Prosperity Fund which are not focused on health.</p><p>The projects
are not specifically aimed at prisons and detention centres, although our Embassy
in Manila does make regular consular representations on prison and detention centres
in the Philippines.</p><p>In addition to bilateral spend, in 2016, the Philippines
received £8.36 million of UK aid through multilateral organisations. This included
funding on the health sector.</p><p>We do not have an estimate of spend by international
and multinational funds for such purposes.</p>
