<p>In 2011-12, the last year for which figures are available, DFID provided financial aid to British Overseas Territories as detailed in the following table:</p><p><table><thead><tr><td valign="top">BritishOverseasTerritory<br /></td><td valign="top">Fundsprovided(£)<br /></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Montserrat<br /></td><td valign="top">24,368,000<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Pitcairn<br /></td><td valign="top">2,774,000<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">StHelena<br /></td><td valign="top">68,223,000<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Turksand CaicosIslands<br /></td><td valign="top">2,061,000<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">CrossTerritoryFunds<br /></td><td valign="top">2,256,000<br /></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p>While DFID does not have an aid programme in the Turks and Caicos Islands, we have provided technical assistance to support a guarantee for Government commercial borrowing for a maximum capital amount of US$260 million. This borrowing will mature in 2016 at which time we expect the TCI Government to raise the remaining finance it requires without DFID support.</p><p>Cross Territory funding is used to support a number of projects and initiatives which work across a number of Territories, for example on safeguarding children.</p> |
