The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Gethins on 2016-03-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much her Department has provided to UNOCHA for work in Libya to date.

Mr Desmond Swayne

As part of DFID’s humanitarian programme in Libya, we are funding a secondment position within the UN’s Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) until August 2016. This OCHA position will support a more coordinated international response, and the establishment of an information management system to strengthen understanding of the humanitarian situation.
