Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the Official Development Assistance spend was in 2019 for (a) climate and biodiversity, (b) covid and global health security, (c) girls’ education, (d) science and research, (e) defending open societies and resolving conflict, (f) humanitarian assistance and (g) promoting trade.

The Statistics on International Development (SID) National Statistics, published on GOV.UK, provides an overview of all UK spend on Official Development Assistance (ODA).

The core priorities which the Foreign Secretary has directed ODA to be focused on in the future, currently do not directly correspond to sector groupings reported in the SID.

SID is collected and reported in line with the OECD reporting directives, therefore uses the international OECD sector categories. The SID table "Table C9" presents UK bilateral ODA by sector for 2019: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/920078/Table-C9.ods

Climate is a cross-cutting theme in the OECD sector codes. UK's International Climate Finance (ICF) spend for 2019 was £1,183 million.
