Overseas Aid

Volume 464: debated on Monday 8 October 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what funding his Department channelled through the (a) World Bank, (b) International Monetary Fund, (c) United Nations and (d) World Trade Organisation in each of the last 10 years. (154399)

Data on DFID’s multilateral assistance to the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and United Nations over the last 10 years are set out in the following table. The World Trade Organisation does not act as a donor but as a forum for trade negotiations and therefore no funding is channelled through it. These figures do not include the element of the DFID bilateral programme channelled through the listed multilateral organisations.
