Written question asked by Preet Kaur Gill (Labour) on Friday, 21 February 2020, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 25 February 2020. It was answered by Wendy Morton (Conservative) on Monday, 2 March 2020 on behalf of the Department for International Development.


Development Aid: Microfinance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much Official Development Assistance her Department spent delivering microcredit in each of the last five years.

Answer

The cost of extracting the information required would be disproportionate. Microcredit is, and has been, an integrated component of numerous broader humanitarian, livelihoods and economic development programmes over the five year period in question. Significant official time and analysis would be required to identify and quantify the aggregate spend.
