Lord Lea of Crondall

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What proportion of the funding of United Kingdom development-related non-governmental organisations comes from the Department for International Development. [HL1583]

The Lord President of the Council
(Baroness Amos)

DfID does not hold information on what proportion of the funding of UK development-related non-governmental organisations comes from DfID. However, in 2005-06, DfID provided grants to UK civil society organisations (CSO) for international development purposes amounting to £261 million.
