HC Deb 30 June 1983 vol 44 c125W
Mr. Dorrell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the components of and funding for the new bilateral population project in Kenya.

Mr. Raison

The integrated rural health and family planning project in Kenya is a six-year multilateral project, divided into two three-year phases. It comprises two parts, designed(a) to promote family planning through the establishment of a new interagency information programme and (b) to strengthen health and family planning services in rural areas. The total cost of phase I is estimated as $61.3 million, of which the Government of Kenya will contribute 18 per cent. Other donors are the IDA, Denmark, Sweden, United States of America, UNICEF and UNFPA. The United Kingdom is contributing up to £896,000 for phase I to meet the costs of up to 24 ambulances, 28 landrovers, 32 motor cycles and 500 visual aid kits.
