ODA allocations and the impact on programmes are being worked through following the decision to reduce UK ODA from 0.5% of GNI to 0.3% in 2027.

We will be taking a rigorous approach to ensure all ODA delivers value for money.

We will set out our spending plans following the completion of the Spending Review and departmental resource allocation processes.
