HL Deb 16 March 1999 vol 598 cc80-5WA
Baroness Rawlings

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Which projects received what funds from the United Kingdom aid budget towards good governance in (a) 1997–98 and (b) 1998–99. [HL1137]

Baroness Amos

Information on policy targeting is available from DFID's Policy Information Marker System (PIMS) for bilateral projects with a commitment value of £100, 000 or more. PIMS covers around 70 per cent. of bilateral expenditure only. On 1 April 1998, the definition of good government changed to exclude human rights, which are now covered separately in an extended definition which includes economic and social rights as well as civil and political rights. For comparison purposes, the attached listing therefore includes all projects which targeted good government as a principal policy objective in 1997–98 and those which targeted either good governance or human rights as a principal policy objective in 1998–99 to date.
