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.
