Lord Steel of Aikwood

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How much money they committed to assist implementation of the comprehensive peace agreement in Sudan; and how much of that has been paid so far. [HL982]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for International Development
(Baroness Vadera)

Following the signing of the comprehensive peace agreement (CPA) in January 2005, the UK pledged £317 million in aid to Sudan over three years (2005-2007). To date, the UK has spent £290 million in humanitarian and development aid and stands to exceed this pledge. Within this, the UK contributed £49.6 million to the Multi-Donor Trust Fund over three years (2005-2007), which is split evenly between MDTF-National and MDTF-South Sudan.
