We are not able to discuss the specifics for individual programmes whilst we are working through the implications of our programme spending for girls' education with partners. During the business planning process for Official Development Assistance (ODA), we took into account the delivery of our global targets on girls' education - to get 40 million more girls into school, and 20 million more reading in the next 5 years. The UK's ODA spend for 2021, including an activity level dataset, will be published in 2022.
