Working with partner humanitarian agencies DFID looks to ensure that the assistance and protection needs of children, especially the under -fives are addressed with urgency when a crisis occurs. As part of DFID’s regional response to the Syria crisis for example, DFID partners including UNICEF and specialist health NGOs are providing primary health services, including routine immunisation and malnutrition screening for under-5s. DFID is also funding child friendly spaces, which are accessible to accompanied under-5s, and services to unaccompanied and separated children. Under-5s also benefit from the provision of assistance to their caregivers, notably food, shelter, health, protection and psychosocial support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 27/10/2014 17:15:45 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

On 12 June, my Rt Hon Friend, the Member for Richmond (York) (William Hague MP), the former Foreign Secretary, announced a substantial new package of UK military, intelligence and development support to Nigeria as it tackles the terrorist threat. We continue to engage with Nigerian officials at both Federal and state level on their efforts to secure the release of those abducted and to provide protection from Boko Haram. We are also in touch with Nigeria’s regional partners, who have an important part to play in the effort to tackle Boko Haram. On 3 September my Hon Friend, the Member for Rochford and Southend East (James Duddridge MP), the Minister for Africa, led the UK delegation at a regional ministerial meeting in Abuja on security in Nigeria. At this meeting he emphasised the importance of regional coordination between Nigeria and its neighbours</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 23/10/2014 13:12:03 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire

During my visit to South Sudan in September this year, I raised the issue of food security in discussions with Government. The UK engages with the relevant ministers, ministries and sector working groups and through the Government Partner Forum. DFID-funded health programmes work in close collaboration with government, and DFID support has been instrumental in pioneering a government-led health sector plan and in strengthening government health systems. A DFID-funded programme in 3 northern states of South Sudan, which works alongside government, is expected to enable 175,000 to become food secure by the end of 2014. The UK, with other donors and UN agencies, is working with the Ministry of Agriculture to agree the content and conditions necessary for signing of the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Process Compact. This will support food security through a 10% allocation of the national budget to the agricultural sector.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 23/10/2014 13:29:18 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
