Arab Partnership Fund
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will assist the Center for Mediterranean Integration in increasing trade and foreign direct investment in North Africa and the Middle East.
- Answer
-
There are no current plans to assist the Center for Mediterranean Integration. The UK has established a dedicated Arab Partnership Fund to support political and economic reform and transition in the Middle East and North Africa over the next four years. This comprises a £40 million Arab Partnership Participation Fund to support political reform managed by the FCO, and a £70 million Arab Partnership Economic Facility (APEF) managed by this department. The APEF will support job creation, economic growth and effective and accountable financial institutions. Programming of this funding is currently under way.
