The UK played a pivotal role in securing the G7 Famine Prevention Compact, which included a commitment of $1.5 billion in funding by the G7 to prevent famine in Yemen, South Sudan and Nigeria. The UK's contribution to support in these countries was all disbursed in the financial year 2021/22. Details of the FCDO's spend in financial year 2021/22 can be found on the FCDO Development Tracker.
