§ Ms McCaffertyTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development what were the total UK bilateral aid contributions for street children in(a) 1997, (b) 1998 and (c) 1999; and if she will provide a breakdown by country and region. [123290]
§ Clare ShortOur development support for street children includes programmes in Brazil, Ecuador, Kenya, South Africa, Russia, Bangladesh, India, Tanzania, Zambia, Uzbekistan, Kardistan. In addition to country specific initiatives, we support organisations with programmes for street children in a large number of countries. These include the Consortium for Street Children, UNICEF and the International Programme for the Elimination of Child Labour of the ILO.
Much of our work in support of street children is done in the context of broader based activities, and it is therefore not possible to provide specific figures for work in this particular area.
