§ Dr. TongeTo ask the Minister of State, Department for International Development on what projects since 2001, and in which countries, the Department has worked in bilateral donor collaboration with USAID; and whether the aid given in such projects has a tied condition for the benefit of(a) the joint venture and (b) the partners of USAID. [120486]
§ Hilary BennA comprehensive list of co-financing projects is not held centrally. However, some examples of collaboration with USAID are available, particularly in health and population. Countries where we have co-financed or contributed to health and population projects include India, Cambodia, Bolivia, Tanzania, Malawi and Kenya.
The US has untied its aid to least-developed countries in line with the DAC Recommendation. We cannot establish without disproportionate cost how many instances there are of the US untying its funding to collaborative projects.
