The Department for International Development's (DFID) bilateral expenditure in Yemen was £51.1 million in the financial year 2010-11, the most recent period for which figures are available. This figure is taken from 'Statistics in Development 2011' published on the DFID website.DFID's country programme allocation for Yemen for the year 2010-11 was based on the Department's assessment of the level of funding required to support the UK Government's cross-departmental strategy for Yemen. This sought to achieve a more stable, secure and economically sustainable Yemen. It also fulfilled a target set in agreeing the Development Partnership Arrangement with the Government of Yemen. Our aid in 2010-11 focused on the delivery of basic services such as health, education and water; stimulating economic growth; and the provision of humanitarian assistance.
