Dear Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
You replied to my FOI asking what NGOs and CSOs you fund in Venezuela, and if you fund Mercy Corps or the Red Cross. You replied:
I can confirm that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) does hold information
relevant to your request.
The FCO has funded various NGOs between January 2016 and September 2018, as part of
UK support to strengthen civil society, human rights and democratic values in
Venezuela. However the UK has not provided funding to Mercy Corps nor the Red Cross in
Venezuela between those dates.
This is half an answer as I asked which NGOs you fund. Please advise which NGOs and CSOs you have funded inside Venezuela between January 2017 and January 2019.
Many thanks
Yours faithfully,
Nina Cross
