Through the UK Government\u2019s International Climate Fund DFID has worked with the World Health Organisation to assess the effect that climate change will have on water and sanitation facilities and has produced a joint report titled \u2018Vision 2030\u2019. This outlines the evidence, and sets out what can be done to optimise the resilience of water and sanitation technologies, infrastructure and services. DFID has also funded the Overseas Development Institute to produce a report assessing the risks that climate change poses to the delivery of Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programmes. All of DFID\u2019s WASH programmes require sustainability and climate risks to be taken into account in design and delivery.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1582", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Grant Shapps"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Welwyn Hatfield"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Grant Shapps"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-11-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-11-02T16:56:46.813Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-10-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Sanitation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the effect that climate change is having on (a) clean water and (b) adequate sanitation facilities in developing countries.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4434", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Gethins"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Fife"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Gethins"} ], "uin" : "13369"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/385075", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/385075/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The crisis in the Central African Republic (CAR) has left more than 2.7 million people in need of assistance and has severely affected children. Since 2013, DFID has provided £51 million to address urgent humanitarian needs in CAR and for CAR refugees. Our funds have enabled agencies to support children who have been separated from their families, provided services for girls and boys who have suffered sexual and gender-based violence, reduced malnutrition rates among children, and given children access to education and training.<\/p>

DFID regularly reviews humanitarian priorities in order to ensure that UK Aid is directed where it is most needed, and works closely with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and wider international community to ensure that long-term strategies are in place to address long-running conflicts and humanitarian crises such as this.<\/p>
