We have provided technical assistance through the World Bank to the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs to create a new welfare database and to pilot conditional cash transfers to improve access to health and education. We have also funded the UNDP managed Funding Facility for Stabilisation to support light infrastructure reconstruction and job and livelihoods creation in areas liberated from Daesh. Furthermore we provided a loan guarantee unlocking over $370 million of World Bank lending to the Government of Iraq, which has contributed to immediate economic stability while supporting reforms delivering more sustainable economic development.<\/p>"}

For the current financial year (2017/18), Voluntary Service Overseas is set to receive a total income of £47,846,000 from DFID for implementing programme work. The two largest programmes that VSO deliver are International Citizen Service (ICS) (£26,570,000) and Volunteering for Development (V4D) (£17,000,000). ICS enables around 6,000 young people per year to contribute to poverty reduction through 12 week projects overseas, which builds their awareness of poverty issues and their personal skills, enabling them to contribute as active citizens when they return to the UK. V4D mobilises around 1,300 mid to late career professionals per year from the health, education and business sectors to volunteer overseas on long term placements. This work improves poor people\u2019s access to basic services and builds new partnerships for a Global Britain.<\/p>"}

UK support is helping to make areas affected by conflict safe, repair basic infrastructure and rebuild homes so that families who have been displaced by violence can return home safely and restart their lives.<\/p>
The UK provides funding to repair housing damaged during the conflict in Iraq through the UN\u2019s Fund for Stabilization (FFS) mechanism. As well as focussing on housing, the FFS funds projects to rehabilitate critical infrastructure, restore basic services such as water and electricity and provide livelihood opportunities in recently liberated areas. The UK has provided £5.68 million to the FFS so far this year; this includes the £1.68 million announced by my department in September which has been specifically earmarked for the repair of over 1,000 homes in West Mosul.<\/p>"}

At the "Supporting Syria and the Region London 2016" Conference on 4 February more than US$11 billion was pledged to support people in Syria and the region affected by the conflict. This is the largest amount raised in one day for a humanitarian crisis. The UK remains at the forefront of the response to the crisis in Syria and the region. We have doubled our commitment and have now pledged a total more than £2.3 billion, our largest ever response to a single humanitarian crisis.<\/p>
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is mandated to lead and coordinate international action to protect refugees. Any person claiming refugee status is able to avail themselves of UNHCR\u2019s global protection mandate where UNHCR has a presence. They can directly approach UNHCR and register with them, or be referred to UNHCR by a third organisation, or UNHCR can ask them to register. The UK has allocated £115 million to UNHCR\u2019s operations in Syria and the surrounding region, of which a proportion is used for registration.<\/p>
Over time, many previously unregistered refugees have sought UNHCR\u2019s assistance and protection services as their resources have dwindled and coping mechanisms become stretched. Some minority groups may not see a need to register either due to their own resources or due to reliance on community/social networks.<\/p>
DFID continues to work with the UN and the international community to ensure all minorities\u2019 rights are protected and our aid reaches those in greatest need.<\/p>"}
