As per programme management best practice, Official Development Assistance (ODA) allocations for individual Overseas Territories evolve during the financial year in line with their changing priorities.  Current proposed allocations (which may be subject to further change) total £132.7 million:

Montserrat: £64.3 million

St Helena and Tristan da Cunha: £56.3 million

The Pitcairn Islands: £5.6 million

Further ODA amounts will be allocated throughout the year via cross-Territory programmes, including the Blue Belt initiative.
