Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment his Department has made of the contribution of Official Development Assistance to the achievement of sustainable development goals.

​The UK helped secure the landmark Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and we meet the UN's 0.7% gross national income target for Official Development Assistance (ODA). The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as a leading ODA-spending department, is helping to advance the SDGs globally by contributing to the objectives of the UK Aid Strategy, particularly in the areas of peace and security, governance and economic development.
