Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 24 April 2023 to Question 181199 on Development Aid: Genito-urinary Medicine, if he will publish updated data on (a) bilateral aid in 2022 and (b) multilateral aid in 2021 for sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Based on FCDO "Statistics on International Development: final UK aid spend 2022", and the Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) spend methodology laid out in the Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) led "Donor Delivering for SRHR" 2023 report:

a/ The total amount of UK ODA Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) funding disbursed by bilateral aid was £297 million in 2022.

b/ The total amount of UK ODA SRHR funding disbursed by core multilateral aid was £279 million in 2021.

Please note the answer given to question 181199 was based on the methodology laid out in the "Donor Delivering for SRHR" 2022 report. The SRHR attribution coefficients have been revised in the 2023 methodology following DSW extensive consultation with relevant experts and stakeholders. Thus, the estimates provided above are not comparable.
