The Government reviews the Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding it allocates to projects on a regular basis in order to ensure delivery of its commitment to spend 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) on ODA.

The Department for International Trade has no current plans to enter into new funding agreements utilising the UK’s ODA.
