The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Department for
International Development have published an infographic showing how UK aid to
Somalia is helping the country.
The infographic,
published ahead of the Somalia Conference, shows where aid is being spent and
how it is making a difference.
For the period 2011-15 the UK is helping 45,000 people,
including 15,000 women, secure new jobs. We are also helping over 60,000
children under five benefit from acute malnutrition programmes each year.

Funding is also helping over 100,000 babies to be born
with the help of midwives, nurses and doctors as well as providing support to
Somalia’s new government and federal parliament.
The Governments of the UK and Somalia will co-host the
international conference on Somalia on 7 May. The conference aims to provide
international support for the Government of Somalia as they rebuild their
country after two decades of conflict.
The Conference will focus on four key areas: security,
justice, public financial management and political stability.
