Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what proportion of her Department's humanitarian aid budget in 2016 was allocated for a period of two or more years.

Due to the nature of Humanitarian Responses, DFID cannot always allocate humanitarian budgets in advance. However, in 2016 over 80 per cent of DFID’s spend on humanitarian aid was to projects with an operational period of two or more years.
