<p>DFID does not have any specific programmes which promote inter-faith and religious tolerance in Burma, however the Department is working with a range of partners, including faith-based organisations, to support peace and reconciliation. Through the British embassy's small grants programme, the UK is funding an initiative in Northern Shan state to promote a better understanding of different religions and respect for human rights. The UK Government encourages the Burmese Government to do all that it can to reduce inter-communal tensions.</p> |
