§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much is currently allocated by the Overseas Development Administration to assist community environmental action.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe Overseas Development Administration does not collate data in the format requested. However, some examples of support for community environmental action are the 124 projects at a cost of about £13 million we fund with non-governmental organisations, and the western Ghats forestry project in southern India, to which we are contributing £25 million, which includes programmes for involving local community groups in the planning and management of the forest.
