§ Mrs. ClwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many indigenous non-governmental organisations in developing countries receive grants from the Overseas Development Administration.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThis information is not centrally available. Many developing country NGOs receive grants for specific projects from United Kingdom heads of missions through the gifts schemes and small project schemes which they administer for ODA. In addition, grants to British NGOs through the ODA's joint funding scheme are often destined for projects designed and implemented in conjunction with indigenous NGOs, and sometimes spread across a number of countries.
