In the three financial years from 2002-03, DFID spent £3.1 million, £2.5 million and £2.12 million in Kosovo, all on technical assistance. Our allocation for 2005-06 was £2.7 million. Expenditure figures are being finalised. We intend to provide approximately £3 million in 2006-07 and expect this level to continue for the next two financial years. Virtually all EC support to Kosovo is given through the European Agency for Reconstruction which provided €63 million in 2003, €73 million in 2004 and €77 million in 2005. The UK’s share of this assistance is 19 per cent. Data for future years are not available. We do not have disaggregated data for expenditure on Kosovo by UN agencies and the World Bank.

DFID’s programme of funding for Somalia for the last three financial years and by percentage is set out in the following table. Official figures for the financial year 2005-06 have yet to be published but the allocation was provisionally £13.2 million. Planned programme allocations for the next two financial years’ are as follows:

It is currently not possible to disaggregate spending to institutions as our programme is developing in light of the ongoing Joint Needs Assessment.

Future allocations beyond 2007-08 will be announced next year following completion of the current Spending Round.
