Lord Chidgey – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Chidgey on 2014-04-09.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how they co-ordinate the United Kingdom’s emergency aid efforts and expenditure with those of non-governmental organisations and bilateral donors to avoid duplication and waste.

Lord Bates

Information is consistently shared by the UK with NGOs and other donors at headquarters and field level, and the level of funds pledged or committed are regularly updated on the UN’s Financial Tracking Service. The UK also plays a key leadership role during responses, encouraging all humanitarian actors to co-ordinate and to do so in partnership with the affected Government wherever appropriate.
