Clare Short

DFID's funding for IOM's operational budget since 1997 is as follows (figures in US dollars):

US $
1997300,000
19981,203,482
19992,977,297
20003,120,757
20015,504,559
20028,147,087
The above figures exclude reimbursable services and projects jointly funded with the Home Office that can not be separately disaggregated from other UK Government funding.

In addition DFID has contributed 50 per cent. of the UK's membership fees to IOM since the UK rejoined IOM in June 2001. These amounted to £517,242 (DFID share £258,621) in 2001 and £952,470 (DFID share £476,235) in 2002.
