Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much funding his Department plans to allocate to the Westminster Foundation for Democracy in 2021.

Currently, the majority of funding the FCDO allocates to Westminster Foundation for Democracy is classified as Official Development Assistance (ODA). The Foreign Secretary has completed the cross-government review of how ODA will be allocated against the government's priorities for 2021, which has ensured that UK ODA is focused on our strategic priorities, spent where it will have the maximum impact, has greater coherence and delivers most value for money. Officials are now working through the implications of these allocations, alongside the implications of the recent Spending Review. No decisions on individual budgets have been taken yet by Ministers.
