The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) annually reports on Official Development Assistance (ODA) expenditure via the Statistics on International Development publications (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-on-international-development). We report spend in line with OECD Development and Assistance Committee (OECD DAC) sector codes and do not publish Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) spend as it is not defined by the OECD DAC and spans across multiple OECD sector codes.

However, you may find the analysis published in the Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) annual "Donor Delivering for SRHR" report of interest (https://donorsdelivering.report/all-editions/). Their latest report shows the UK allocated 4.38% of Official Development Assistance to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in 2022. Estimates for 2023 are not available yet.
