<p>DFID provided humanitarian assistance to Haiti in 2010-11 after the earthquake and to help fight cholera. This helped to reach a million people with food, shelter, clean water and medical care, including 200,000 people with cholera treatment and prevention.</p><p>DFID does not have a bilateral aid programme in Haiti. Our contribution towards reconstruction and development, including water, sanitation and health care, is through our share of the programmes of multilateral agencies such as the World Bank, United Nations and European Union. This share amounts to around £70 million this year, including peacekeeping. My Department continues to monitor the situation in Haiti, but there are no plans to provide additional assistance.</p> |
