answer text: DFID has funded the following programmes in Papua province during the period in question:(i) through the decentralisation support facility, assistance is being provided to the provincial government of Papua to strengthen its capacity in areas such as public financial management, infrastructure and community-driven development. It is difficult to identify precise budgets for these activities as they form part of a broader programme for Eastern Indonesia, but approximate figures are £150,000 for calendar year 2007, and £300,000 for 2008.(ii) the UK-Indonesia multi-stakeholder forestry programme (MFP) has operated in Papua, among other regions. Activities under this programme include support for forest policy reform, indigenous and other local community land rights, economic livelihoods, and tackling deforestation and illegal logging. Further information on this innovative programme can be found in the book 'Aid That Works', published in 2006 and available from DFID. Funding under MFP for Papua in 2007-08 is likely to amount to approximately £120,000. Funding levels for 2008-09 have not yet been set.(iii) through the Indonesia Partnership Fund for HIV/AIDS (IPF), DFID is supporting the strengthening of the two Provincial AIDS Commissions for Papua and West Papua, as well as district AIDS Commissions, primarily through the National AIDS Commission Secretariat. In addition, Family Health International and the Indonesian HIV Prevention and Care Project both have HIV programmes in Papua and West Papua which receive support from DFID through the IPF. This work focuses on health system strengthening, providing care, support and treatment to people living with HIV, and prevention of sexual transmission of HIV in the two provinces. It is not possible to disaggregate the financial disbursement data sufficiently to indicate expenditure by province without incurring disproportionate costs.
