§ 32. Mr. SpearingTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what evaluation has been made by Her Majesty's Government of the joint aid agencies report, "Joint Evaluation of Emergency Assistance to Rwanda"; and what subsequent change of policy has been(a) evaluated and (b) decided arising from that report. [15553]
§ Dr. Liam FoxWe have reviewed the findings of the Rwanda evaluation and are pursuing lessons learnt in consultation with other aid donors, for many of the recommendations require wider discussion and broad consensus. We have also initiated a review of our own humanitarian aid policy particularly in relation to multilateral agencies, in order to seek improvements in international systems for the delivery of emergency humanitarian assistance.
