answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>The Government attaches considerable importance to the current review of the World Bank’s Safeguards Framework. We have been strongly engaged throughout both with UK civil society organisations and the World Bank, most recently at UK consultation meetings on 19-20 January. At these, discussions with the Bank included a specific focus on how the safeguards will ensure proper consideration and risk management for vulnerable or disadvantaged groups such as women, the disabled and LGBT people. The Government will continue to raise these points as the review progresses.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Putney answering member printed Justine Greening question first answered 02/02/2015 17:14:27 answering member 1555 label Biography information for Justine Greening

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The UK funds a number of civil society organisations in Uganda, including around 70 through the multi-donor Democratic Governance Facility. DFID has assessed our programme to ensure that UK aid could continue to be spent effectively and with maximum impact, and to ensure it was not being provided to organisations that proactively and publically promoted the Act. Following this, the UK and other donors agreed to indefinitely suspend funding through the Democratic Governance Facility to one organisation. We will continue to monitor this situation. The UK strongly opposes discrimination on any grounds.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
