International Development: Global Opportunities Fund Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer asked Her Majesty's Government: How much has each of the priority countries been allocated from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Global Opportunities Fund in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 budget; and which of the six themes received a budget line in each country.[HL6415] The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Lord Triesman) In 2005-06, there were six programmes within the Global Opportunities Fund (GOF), each with its own priority countries. These are listed below, together with the amount spent in each of the priority countries. This does not include regional and multilateral initiatives that operated across a number of priority countries. For 2006-07, the GOF has expanded to 10 programmes with the addition of the Afghanistan counter-narcotics programme, the overseas territories programme, the drugs and crime programme and the migration programme. In many cases, there is no fixed allocation to priority countries at the beginning of the financial year. Decisions on allocation of programme funds are made by project selection boards, on the basis of project bids, which are assessed against programme strategies. Furthermore, initial allocations to projects within priority countries may change throughout the year for a range of reasons, such as activities being less expensive than anticipated. It is therefore not possible to give figures for allocations to priority countries at this stage in the financial year. ----------------------------------- |Country |Amount spent|
