§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action is being undertaken by the Overseas Development Administration to improve planning integration of technical co-operation within overall and sectoral development programmes of recipient countries.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydTechnical co-operation, which comprises mainly the provision of British expertise overseas and the provision of training in the United Kingdom, is made available as an integral element of aid to projects, sector programmes and broader national development efforts. Effective integration of all forms of aid, including technical co-operation, from all donors is also sought by means of multi-donor co-ordination meetings with the authorities of individual recipient countries.
