Belize: Overseas Aid

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much aid her Department has provided in Belize in each of the last 30 years.

Answer

DFID does not have a bilateral programme with Belize but it benefits from a number of DFID Caribbean regional programmes.

The most recent official publication on UK Government spending shows that £422,625.63 of Official Development Assistance (ODA) was spent in Belize in 2016.

The Statistics on International Development (SID) publishes an overview of UK spend on International Development in the calendar year; the SID began publishing data in 2009. Since 2009 the UK Government has spent £4,753,199.18 in Belize.

Detailed information on ODA spend can be found on the SID website, found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/statistics-on-international-development-2017
