§ Joan RuddockTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will list the funds delivered to Afghanistan in 2002 for aid and reconstruction by the(a) USA, (b) EU, (c) UK and (d) Japan, and the total funds promised to that country in the Tokyo agreements. [100985]
§ Clare ShortAt the international donor conference in Tokyo in January 2002 donors made pledged covering 1–5 years, totalling $4.5 billion for humanitarian and reconstruction assistance in Afghanistan. The total estimate for money disbursed in 2002 is $1.8 billion. The Afghan Assistance Co-ordination Authority (AACA) records show that Afghanistan received the following amounts of support in 2002 from:(a) USA, $602,167,421; (b) European Union (all member states), $452,820,329; (c) UK, $58,685,499; and (d) Japan, $142,698,441. However the UK actually disbursed $135,494,011 in 2002 and we believe that the AACA figures for the other donors are also underestimates.
