§ Mr. StreeterTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development what proportion of her Department's bilateral country programme aid for Uganda is spent by the Government of Uganda. [126454]
§ Clare ShortOur programme of bilateral assistance to Uganda is set at £57 million in the current financial year. Of this we anticipate that £38 million will be disbursed as budget support, flowing directly through the Government of Uganda consolidated fund. Over the next two financial years the programme is expected to increase to £60 million and £70 million respectively. Of these amounts, £42 million and £53 million respectively will be channelled through the Government of Uganda's budget. Thus the proportion flowing through the budget will rise from 67 per cent. in 2000–01 to 76 per cent. in 2002–03.
