Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for your statement. I’m very pleased to be able to respond on behalf of our group, and extend our continuing support for the Wales for Africa programme and the excellent work that it is doing in making connections between the people of Wales and the people of sub-Saharan Africa.

The Cabinet Secretary will know I visited South Africa a couple of years ago—in fact, on two occasions in the past few years—and I’ve seen some of the excellent work that is being done as a result of the support of the people of Wales in that particular country, and indeed, heard a lot more about the more extensive work that is going on in the southern Africa region. I’m sure that you will join with me in congratulating the work of faith groups in particular that have been involved with those particular projects. The diocese of St Asaph, of course, has a link with south-west Tanganyika where they’ve got civic links that have been developed, supporting subsistence projects, improving the water supplies and, indeed, helping to train teachers in that particular area. And indeed, an organisation called Preferred Future, which raises money here in Wales amongst different individual churches, is helping to deliver projects right across South Africa and beyond in places like Lesotho, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi and many other nations, very often working with underprivileged children, helping to provide them with education and, indeed, helping to educate them in terms of the health risks that there are in some of those very needy communities, particularly those where HIV is very prevalent indeed. If it wasn’t for the support of the different faith groups and church groups in particular in Wales for those projects, many of them would simply not be happening.

I wonder, Cabinet Secretary, if you can tell me what work the Welsh Government is doing to try to establish links with the Welsh diaspora in some of these nations to harness the opportunities that they might have to bring something extra, if you like, in terms of their skills to be brought to bear in helping to support some of the Wales for Africa programme. One of the highlights, I suppose, of the last visit I made to South Africa was a meeting with the Cape Welsh Society at the High Commissioner’s residence, where there are people who have many talents. Very often, they’ve retired to South Africa and want to still volunteer in some capacity. I know that we’ve got lots of people travelling from Wales to sub-Saharan Africa to support some of the projects that you’ve referred to in Uganda and that I’ve referred to in other places, but the individuals who are permanently on the ground there, but have origins in Wales, also have something to offer. I wonder if you could just comment on whether that is a group of people that you are particularly looking at trying to engage with.

Secondly, I’m sure that you’re aware of the tremendous link that’s been established through the Betsi Cadwaladr university health board on maternal health issues in the Lesotho area, where they’ve managed to decrease the rate of child mortality—you mentioned some of the maternal mortality figures in Uganda earlier on. You’ll also be aware that similar achievements—in fact, more impressive achievements—have been realised in Lesotho as a result of the work of clinicians from Wales and nursing staff from Wales who’ve been travelling out over a number of years now, into Lesotho, and helping to drive improvements in health outcomes for people in that particular nation.
