Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what proportion of Official Development Assistance spending was allocated to nutrition in (a) 2018, (b) 2019 and (c) 2020; and what proportion will be allocated to nutrition in 2021.
In 2018 and 2019, the UK spent 1.2% of ODA on basic nutrition programmes.
The 2020 provisional ODA spend is due to be published in early April 2021.
The FCDO is undertaking a rigorous internal prioritisation process in response to the spending review announcement. We will update on the implications of this for 2021 nutrition spend in due course.
