In April, the U.K. Department for International Development will start publishing its operational plans for countries receiving British bilateral aid, according to U.K. Secretary of State for International Development Andrew Mitchell.
Mitchell disclosed the schedule through a March 28 written statement in response to a question by Harriet Harman, Labour member of the U.K. Parliament and shadow secretary of state for international development.
