<p>Since 2013, the UK has committed £58 million to address the needs of Central Africans,
Central African children and of CAR refugees. This funding has enabled agencies to
support children who have been separated from their families, provide services for
girls and boys who have suffered sexual and gender-based violence, to reduce malnutrition,
and give children access to education and training. The UK monitors need in CAR and
reviews regularly the strategy and level of support it provides.</p><br /><p>In many
other conflict affected countries DFID is providing multi-year funding to help humanitarian
agencies with strategic longer term plans to assist conflict affected populations,
including children.</p><br /><p>In the Syria region for example, the UK has allocated
£111 million to provide protection, psychosocial support and education for children
affected by the crisis in Syria and the region. In Iraq, this includes funding to
establish women and children’s centres, which provide counselling and support for
women, and safe spaces for children to play and learn. In Syria, the UK is supporting
children with food, shelter and health. The UK also helped launch, and mobilise international
support for, the ‘No Lost Generation’ Initiative (NLGI), which aims to prevent a whole
generation being lost to the Syria conflict through physical and psychological trauma
and lack of access to quality education and other basic services.</p>
