Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the Government has programmed any of the funding that it pledged as part of the UK-led G7 Famine Prevention and Humanitarian Crises Compact that it launched in May 2021.
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.
