Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what proportion of his Department’s budget he has allocated for child-focused aid in the (a) 2024-25 and (b) 2025-26 financial years.

The former Minister for International Development published the FCDO's Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme allocations for 2024/25 in a Written Ministerial Statement on Thursday 6 February 2025.

ODA allocations for future years are being worked through given the Prime Minister's announcement on 25 February 2025 regarding a reduction in UK ODA.

This Government remains fully committed to a globally significant role on development. Our mission remains to help create a world free from poverty on a liveable planet.

We report all ODA spending on a calendar year basis in the Statistics on International Development publication.
