To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance is given by the Overseas Development Administration to provide adult education for females.

Mrs. Chalker

Yes, we provide such support in a variety of ways: as component parts of ODA projects; through in-country training and training on courses in British institutions; through distance learning; and in joint ventures with non-governmental organisations and in our contribution to the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).
