§ Sir David SteelTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures Her Majesty's Government have taken to ensure that the humanitarian aid for Malawi is reaching the targeted groups.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe £7 million of United Kingdom bilateral humanitarian aid recently committed to Malawi is being channelled through the World Food Programme and non-governmental organisations which have established procedures and the capacity of targeting beneficiaries and for monitoring the effectiveness of aid delivery.
In Malawi, Her Majesty's Government's representatives are participating in a committee, consisting of the Malawi Government, donors and non-governmental organisations which has been established to monitor the drought situation, including the identification and targeting of those most in need.
