The UK Government consistently calls on the Israeli Government to ease movement and access restrictions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) and repeatedly calls on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law. We welcome recent Israeli announcements to ease restrictions on the importation of material into Gaza for much needed infrastructure projects such as the proposed Central Gaza Desalination Plant and other waste water plants under construction, which many international donors are supporting. The UK is currently engaging with relevant stakeholders to discuss the development of infrastructure for enhanced water and electricity supply in Gaza, and continues to urge all the parties to prioritise progress towards reaching a durable solution for Gaza and to take the necessary practical steps to improve conditions.<\/p>"}

In line with the UK\u2019s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), DFID provides support for information-gathering and monitoring of the SDGs at the global and country levels.<\/p>
<\/p>

- The UN Statistics Division - DFID is supporting 20 developing countries to disseminate SDG data through National Reporting Platforms. These countries include Ethiopia, DRC, and Nepal.<\/li>
- The Inclusive Data Charter, which will play an important role in measuring whether SDG progress is equitable.<\/li>
- The Health Data Collaborative, which aims to improve the availability, quality and use of health data for local decision-making and for tracking progress towards Goal 3 on health.<\/li>
- The IMF and UN-ESCAP, where we are supporting 50 countries to strengthen their economic statistics, on which to make economic policy decisions.<\/li><\/ul>
<\/p>
Countries we support through these programmes and initiatives in monitoring their SDGs include:<\/p>
Burundi, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Liberia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kyrgyzstan, Lao, Myanmar, Nepal, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Tajikistan and Vietnam.<\/p>"}

The UK government\u2019s three main development priorities are:<\/p>
1) Supporting Nepal\u2019s transition to an effective federal democracy;
2) Accelerating the rate of inclusive growth to generate jobs; and
3) Ensuring that the most vulnerable are better protected from shocks.<\/p>
<\/p>
Forestry support will be provided through our market development programmes that will work with forestry enterprises to create jobs and our climate programmes which will support afforestation to reduce emissions and protect watersheds. In addition the UK government is a core supporter of the World Bank, Forestry Investment Programme that is developing a £18.5m forestry programme in Nepal.<\/p>"}
