169 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the amount of money committed through his Department for overseas development aid projects in central and southern America; and if he will provide details on each specific project. [21501/00]
170 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the amount of money committed by his Department to non-governmental organisations for specific projects in central and southern America; and if he will provide details for each specific project. [21502/00]
I propose to take Questions No. 169 and 170 together.
A detailed breakdown of the moneys committed for overseas development aid projects and funding for non-governmental organisations in central and southern America in 1999 is set out in the annual report of Ireland Aid for 1999 which is available in the Library.
A table showing the allocations from January 2000 to date follows. A total of £704,000 has been spent on rehabilitation assistance and emergency assistance programmes to date, however, it is anticipated that Ireland Aid will spend a total of £1000,000 on rehabilitation assistance in central America this year, in the aftermath of hurricane Mitch.
A total of £1,053,326 has been allocated to NGOs under the co-financing and block grant schemes in 2000 for projects in the region and £425,001 has been committed to NGOs for projects under the human rights and democratisation budget 2000. In addition, funding of £100,000, £50,000 in 1999 and £50,000 in 2000, was provided to the United Nations Volunteers in support for the Ombudsman's Office, Peru.
