answer text: We must ensure that girls and women in Afghanistan have a full role in society, in the economy and in politics. UK funding is already making a big difference in these areas—it has helped get over 2 million girls into school, and our £19.5 million Tawanmandi civil society programme (with additional funding from Norway, Sweden and Denmark) has to date provided over half its grants to Afghan women's organisations to help them hold the Afghan Government to account. The UK Government continues to help improve the lives of women and girls in Afghanistan through the UK National Action Plan on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325: Women, Peace and Security. Last month the UK Government published its second annual review of the plan which can be found at: www.fco.gov.uk/en/global-issues/women-peace-security/national-action-plan The section on Afghanistan is at pages 15 and 16.
