§ Mr. Ivan HendersonTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development how much aid the Government have sent to Rwanda from 1997 to 2001; and what plans the Government have to send aid in the future. [45112]
§ Clare ShortBetween 1997 to 2001 the UK provided £89 million in development assistance to Rwanda. In 1999 the UK made a 10-year commitment with the Government of Rwanda to help their post-conflict recovery and enable them to meet the International Development Targets. We have provided around £30 million in development assistance this financial year and expect our support to continue at least at this level over the next few years.
