Official development assistance is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective. All programming, including any for anti-poaching, is considered in line with the Government development objectives as outlined in the UK Aid Strategy.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 31 October 2017 to Question 109459, on Africa: poaching, what steps his Department has taken to monitor the effectiveness of spending to combat the illegal wildlife trade.
The department has mechanisms in place to monitor the effectiveness of spending to combat the illegal wildlife trade. All illegal wildlife trade grants have to report on what they have achieved with the money allocated to them, and have an agreed monitoring and evaluation plan and targets. Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund projects submit six-monthly, annual and final reports on their progress. The annual and final reports are reviewed by an independent assessor.

Further to my answer of 31 October 2017 to Question 109460, on poaching, Liwonde National Park in Malawi was selected for a pilot project to test our methodology. Once the Pilot has concluded, we will conduct an evaluation of our approach and, where appropriate, make recommendations for subsequent training and mentoring activity.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much funding her Department provided for anti-poaching efforts in Africa in each of the last seven years.
The Department has supported efforts to address the illegal wildlife trade through funding of the Global Environment Facility and by providing funding to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs including for the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund. The Department for International Development’s funding to the Global Environment Facility was £35 million in 2010 and £52.5 million each year since then. £13 million was committed by the Department to tackle the Illegal Wildlife Trade in the period of 2014 to 2018, to be administered by Defra. We are unable to provide a breakdown of the proportion of this funding that was specifically targeted at anti-poaching efforts in Africa.

A team of seven UK Armed Forces personnel have been providing training and mentoring to African Parks rangers since August in Liwonde National Park, Malawi.

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that environmental defenders, including park rangers, are being killed in record numbers globally.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that environmental defenders, including park rangers, are being killed in record numbers globally.
The UK government is committed to supporting those working hard to tackle the illegal wildlife trade. Tragically, over 100 rangers have died in the line of duty in the last 12 months, many at the hands of poachers. Through the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund, Defra has funded three projects supporting park rangers and other environmental defenders. In addition Defra has funded the British Military to provide tracker training for African park rangers, helping to ensure their safety when detecting and disrupting the illegal wildlife trade.
