DFID has spent £7.69m to-date since financial year 2015/16 on rule of law initiatives in Pakistan which are funded through the Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). This has supported work to improve the justice system in Pakistan for citizens.<\/p>

HMG makes robust use of the oversees security and justice assessment (OSJAs) process to manage any human rights risks arising from security and justice assistance delivered overseas. A risk assessment has therefore been carried out on the DFID led work in Pakistan. OSJAs include a UK assessment of the human rights situation in a country at a given time and are regularly updated to inform exposure to risk and adjust programme delivery to reduce that risk if necessary. OSJAs therefore need to be candid about the situation in order to work. Placing them in the public domain could prejudice relations between the UK and another state, the interests of the UK abroad or the promotion or protection by the UK of its interests abroad.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-28T17:44:41.137Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pakistan: Overseas Aid"} , "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 (a) Official Development Assistance and (b) other resources her Department has allocated to the rule of law initiative in Pakistan; and if she will publish her Department's human rights assessment of that initiative for 2018-2019.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4396", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rebecca Long Bailey"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salford and Eccles"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rebecca Long Bailey"} ], "uin" : "210565"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1045573", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1045573/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

DFID\u2019s core mission is reducing extreme poverty. We are striving to ensure that every project we spend British taxpayers\u2019 money on contributes to both reducing poverty in the developing country and to the UK national interest, for example by tackling multiple drivers of poverty and instability.<\/p>

We are committed to improving the effectiveness and transparency of UK aid to ensure we are attaining maximum impact from our aid budget. In the 2015 Aid Strategy, the government made a commitment to aim for all UK government departments to be ranked as \u2018Good\u2019 or \u2018Very Good\u2019 in the Aid Transparency Index by 2020.

The Delivering Sustainable and Equitable Increases in Family Planning in Kenya programme will support increased access to modern family planning services. Abortion services will be supported within the parameters set out in the Kenyan Constitution. The programme is still under procurement and therefore no further information on budget breakdowns is available at this time.<\/p>

<\/p>

DFID takes an integrated approach to programming on sexual and reproductive health and rights - for example providing a woman with holistic care for gender-based violence, HIV, counselling, post-abortion care and information on family planning.

DFID takes an integrated approach to our programming on sexual and reproductive health and rights in order to meet a wide range of women\u2019s reproductive health needs. Because these services are integrated, it is not possible to disaggregate figures solely relating to safe abortion procedure. This principle applies to programmes delivered by all partners with DFID funding, including Marie Stopes International, and therefore this information is not available.<\/p>

<\/p>

The aim of DFID\u2019s work on sexual and reproductive health and rights is to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions, increase the use of voluntary family planning, and give women control over their own bodies and lives.

Partners will also be required to submit annual audit reports and regular progress and financial reports.

Our HIV/AIDS research focuses on HIV prevention technologies and understanding the structural drivers/factors that can increase HIV infection. Underpinning these themes is the need for strong health systems, to deliver services to those who need it.<\/p>

<\/p>

Our product development research portfolio includes the International Partnership for Microbicides (IPM). IPM is developing the first long-acting HIV prevention (containing an antiretroviral drug) designed for women, a self-initiated female prevention product.<\/p>

<\/p>

Research into the root causes of HIV and how best to tackle them are being addressed through the Tackling the Structural Drivers of HIV (STRIVE) and the recently completed Evidence for HIV Prevention in Southern Africa (EHPSA) projects.<\/p>

<\/p>

The results of this research have the potential to increase adherence to treatment and reduce drug resistance. It will help some of the most poor and vulnerable people, and will be of benefit to people in all countries affected by HIV/AIDS including the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

DFID is also supporting the scale-up of long-acting technologies through our funding to Unitaid. Unitaid is a global health initiative which aims to improve access to medicines, diagnostics and preventative commodities for people affected by HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria in lower income countries. The Unitaid board has recently approved development of grants to drive innovation and rollout of the rich pipeline of long-acting technologies for HIV and other diseases.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-28T17:41:38.41Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "HIV Infection: Drugs"} , "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, whether her Department has plans to allocate funding for research into acting/extended-release (a) injectable and (b) implantable forms of Antiretroviral drugs to help (a) a patients adherence to treatment and (b) decrease HIV drug resistance.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/177", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gareth Thomas"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harrow West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gareth Thomas"} ], "uin" : "210448"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1045681", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1045681/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

As a landlocked country, cross-border transportation of aid is essential for an effective humanitarian response in South Sudan.
