UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) provided to support Rohingya refugees and host communities in Bangladesh was £36.6 million in 2021-22, £20.2 million in 2022-23 and £22.8 million in 2023-24, £43 million in 2024-25 and £36.59 million in 2025-26.
For 2026-27, £18.15 million has been allocated for the response. £6.3 million has been disbursed to date, and 15 per cent of the funding is being held in reserve in line with central guidance. £19 million has been confirmed annually until FY 2028/29.
For detail on future funding, including in Bangladesh, I refer the Noble Lord to statement HLWS292 (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2026-07-16/hlws292) made by the Minister of State for International Development and Africa on the 16 July 2026 (The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's planned ODA programme country and regional allocations 2026/27 - 2028/29). As noted in the statement, we will retain a significant humanitarian spend that will focus on alleviating the Rohingya crisis.
