Vol. 527 No. 3

Written Answers. - Overseas Development Aid.

Gerry Reynolds

Ceist:

116 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the percentage of the aid budget in Zambia and Tanzania which is directed at those most in need; and the percentage amount which is reaching them. [28281/00]

I refer the Deputy to Question No. 71 which I answered on 28 November.

In my reply I dealt comprehensively with the issue of the proportion of the aid budget directed to the poorest countries which is actually reaching its intended beneficiaries. The same set of considerations as outlined in that reply are equally applicable to our specific aid programmes in Tanzania and Zambia.
