Due to the UK's significant support to the people seeking sanctuary in the UK from conflict in Ukraine and Afghanistan, the FCDO was not able to publish forward programme allocations in our Annual Report as the original allocations would not be accurate. We remain committed to transparency and will provide updates to Parliament on spending plans in due course.

A final estimate of UK Official Development Assistance (ODA), the ODA:Gross National Income (GNI) ratio and more detailed breakdowns of UK ODA is published annually in Statistics on International Development publications (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-on-international-development).
