The UK is a sizeable humanitarian donor to East Africa and remains committed to tackling the hunger crisis across the region. On the ground our support is providing millions of people with essential services and supplies including food, clean water, nutritional support and healthcare. We are committed to transparency with the public and predictability with our partners and we intend to provide an update on planned ODA allocations and humanitarian commitments this financial year in due course.
