The Department for International Development's (DFID's) direct aid programme closed in 2006. In 2008, responding to needs arising from the conflict, DFID committed £13.5 million emergency humanitarian funding. This support ends in March 2011. On Wednesday my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for International Development, announced new support for landmine clearance. Over the next three years, Sri Lanka will be among those receiving assistance under this programme, helping those still displaced return home. |
