Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what his Department's Overseas Development Aid budget was for Kenya in each of the last 15 years.
The official source of data on UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) is Statistics on International Development (SID).
Table 1 below provides the volume of country-specific UK bilateral ODA provided for the benefit of Kenya from 2009 - 2021 (the latest year for which data is published). The UK also spends ODA in the form of unearmarked contributions to multilateral organisations and there is also bilateral spend to programmes which benefit multiple countries/regions. Some of this may benefit Kenya but it is not possible to provide a specific breakdown for Kenya.
