Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Viscount Younger of Leckie on 15 December 2022 (HL Deb cols 807–11), what level the next funding round of UK Aid Match will be set at; and what proportion of Overseas Aid this will represent.

Grants under Round 5 of UK Aid Match are due to begin from April 2023 and will have a total value of £13 million over 3 years.

We also use UK Aid Match to support emergency humanitarian responses, including £25 million of match funding to the Disasters Emergency Committee's Ukraine appeal.

We are currently considering future models for central FCDO funding for civil society and we will draw on the successes of the current UK Aid Match programme.
