The UK's Development Work in the Middle East

Inquiry

With the exception of the OPTs and Yemen, the Middle East has not traditionally been a focus for the UK’s aid spending: DFID has concentrated its resources on the poorer countries of Africa and South Asia. But it is now spending substantial funds in the Middle East region. In this inquiry we focus on Syria and the neighbouring countries, as well as the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs).
