Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has a target for the provision of nutrition services to vulnerable (a) children, (b) adolescents and (c) women in 2024.

The FCDO is implementing our 2021 Nutrition for Growth commitment to spend at least £1.5 billion between 2022 and 2030 on addressing the nutrition needs of mothers, babies, and children, tackling malnutrition in humanitarian emergencies. The FCDO is also committed to integrating nutrition objectives into multiple sectors, including health, economic and agricultural development, humanitarian, climate, and education, tackling all forms of malnutrition, and to track and report on this. The UK does not have targets to reach vulnerable children, adolescents nor women with nutrition services.

The Government is committed to returning ODA spending to 0.7% of GNI once the fiscal situation allows.
