The Prosperity Fund is committed to meeting the government target of ‘good’ on the International Aid Transparency Index by 2020. The Fund was announced in the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review; no further allocations have been made beyond the initial £1.2bn allocated over the Fund’s six year lifetime. The Fund is managed and led by the National Security Secretariat in Cabinet Office. Any future funding would be agreed across government following the appropriate procedures.
