HC Deb 03 December 1997 vol 302 cc238-9W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will list the aid and advice currently provided by her Department to countries which have street children. [18968]

Mr. Foulkes

As most of Department for International Development's (DFID) bilateral projects cover the wider population it is not possible to isolate expenditure on specific target groups within them. Although data may be readily available for projects designed specifically for children, expenditure on all areas which impinge on children cannot be separated from more general expenditure.

Funding has also been provided to those agencies which receive block grants through the JFS in support of a variety of street children initiatives in Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania.
