Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Minister of State for International Development if he will publish the outcome of the study commissioned on violence in the Central American region; and what action is proposed based on the study's findings. [114712]

Hilary Benn

The DFID funded Study on Violence in the Central America Region (by Caroline Moser and Alisa Winton) has been published by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) as Working Paper 171. A copy will be placed in the House of Commons Library. We are in discussion with the Government of Nicaragua about how we may support their efforts to reduce the cycle of violence and social exclusion.
