<p>We work very closely with Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the Islamic Development Bank, whose generosity and increasingly structured development assistance are a great asset We have a development partnership with the United Arab Emirates which includes responding to the crisis in Syria by supporting the educational needs of children in a UAE funded refugee camp in Jordan. We are working with the Saudi Government through the Friends of Yemen initiative which generated $7.8 billion of pledges to support Yemen's development. We also have a DFID staff member seconded to the Islamic Development Bank to build our understanding of what makes effective development.</p>
