Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what funding his Department provided to the G7 Famine Compact in (a) 2021 and (b) 2022.

The Famine Prevention and Humanitarian Crises Compact was agreed during the UK's G7 Presidency. Our share of the $7 billion in humanitarian assistance to the countries one step from famine was all disbursed in the financial year 2021/2022. We continue to deliver on our policy commitments in the Compact. For example, in October we partnered with G7 President Germany and the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership to co-host a donor event on Financing for Early and Anticipatory Action.
