Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what was the total amount of funding directly targeting reproductive health disbursed under codes (1) 13010, (2) 13021 or 13022, (3) 13030, and (4) 13081, of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Development Assistance Committee in the financial years (a) 2020, and (b) 2021.
Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The total amount of FCDO Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) funding directly targeting reproductive health disbursed under codes (1) 13010, (2) 13021 or 13022, (3) 13030, and (4) 13081 are noted in the table below. This is part of the' Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Development Assistance Committee (OECD DAC) in the financial years 2020, and 2021. Please note "13020" is the official OECD DAC code for both "13021" and "13022". These codes were defined and solely used by the former Department for International Development. This did not exist in the former Foreign and Commonwealth Office spend data and would not provide a complete picture for the FCDO.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what was the total amount of funding directly targeting HIV and AIDS under codes (1) 13041, and (2) 13042, of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Development Assistance Committee in the financial years (a) 2020, and (b) 2021.
Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
Details of UK Government Official Development Assistance spending broken down by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) codes are published in Statistics on International Development. Funding directly targeting HIV and AIDS under OECD code 13040 was £9 million for calendar year 2020 and £6 million for 2021. 13040 is the official OECD code for both 13041 and 13042 and no further breakdowns are available. These codes were defined and solely used by the former Department for International Development. They did not exist in the former Foreign and Commonwealth Office data on spending and would not provide a complete picture for the FCDO. The OECD code does not cover the UK's multilateral contributions and therefore does not present a full picture of UK support to combatting HIV and AIDS, for example the UK contributed £476 million in 2020 and £380 million in 2021 to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, of which around 50 per cent went towards HIV and AIDS, and £15 million and £2.5 million towards UNAIDS.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of official development assistance was allocated to programmes targeted towards women and girls in fragile or conflict-affected states in (1) 2020, and (2) 2021.
Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
In 2020 and 2021, the UK provided annual totals of £2.25 billion and £1.28 billion, respectively, of bilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) to countries/regions classed as fragile or conflict affected (FCAS) where gender equality was identified by project teams either a significant or principal aim of the spend. This amount represented 23.6% and 17.9% of total UK bilateral ODA in these respective years. The list of FCAS are defined by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC).
The FCDO will continue to prioritise efforts to address the disproportionate impact of conflict on women and girls, as set out in the new Women, Peace and Security National Action Plan and the International Women and Girls Strategy, including to ensure a strong focus on gender equality in our programming.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the cross-governmental review of official development assistance will take place; how long it will last; which departments will be involved; when it will report; and whether the report will be made public.
Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
To maximise the Government's strategic focus in the use of ODA next year, the Foreign Secretary will run a short cross-government process to review, appraise and finalise all of the UK's ODA allocations. This will involve all current ODA spending departments. It is the Government's intention to conclude this process as soon as possible and communicate the outcome to the departments concerned.
