Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what proportion of assistance funding to Afghanistan, announced by her Department on 2 October 2016, she estimates will be spent by Departments other than her own in each year to 2019-20.

On 2 October the Secretary of State announced that the UK would spend up to £750m in official development assistance (ODA) to Afghanistan to 2020, depending on Afghan government performance and security conditions.

Of this, £700m is DFID ODA. The remaining £50m ODA will be spent through cross-government mechanisms including the Conflict, Security, and Stability Fund.
