Africa: Development Aid

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 5 October 2020 to Question 95724, how much Official Development Assistance went to the DRC, Nigeria, Niger, Mozambique, Uganda, Madagascar and Sudan in 2019 and 2020; and how much is planned to be allocated to those countries in 2021.

Answer

The Statistics on International Development (SID) National Statistics report, published on the GOV.UK website, provides an overview of all official UK spend on Official Development Assistance (ODA). UK bilateral aid to the countries listed is detailed in a specific SID table - "Table A4a: Total UK Bilateral ODA by country - Africa". UK multilateral aid to the countries listed is detailed in "Table A10: Imputed UK Share of Multilateral Net ODA by Country". Details of multilateral aid by country are currently only available up to the year 2018.

UK ODA figures for 2020 will be published in Autumn 2021, via Statistics on International Development: Final UK Aid Spend 2020.

Budget allocations are made for financial years and allocations for 2021-22 have not yet been made and will be decided through a rigorous business planning and budget allocation process in early 2021.
