answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The UK is committed to working with partners to meet the needs of the people of Sudan, regardless of the political situation. This is not dependent on fixed term-limits for governing and elected officials, but we do support the establishment of proper democratic processes. UK aid is currently channelled through multilateral organisations, international Non-Governmental Organisations and commercial partners, which are monitored by DFID in Sudan. During the 39 month transitional period the UK will continue to provide lifesaving aid to the most vulnerable and urge the Civilian-led Government of Sudan to undertake much needed economic and political reforms to support prosperity and the rights of the people of Sudan. We continue to stand ready to assist these efforts.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 09/09/2019 15:28:20 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
