Africa: Development Aid and Humanitarian Aid
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the (a) humanitarian and (b) development aid budgets are for (i) Somalia, (ii) South Sudan, (iii) Ethiopia and (iv) Kenya in this financial year.
- Answer
-
The UK aims to provide approximately £156 million in humanitarian support to East Africa in financial year 2022/23. This includes support to Somalia, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya.
Given the government's response to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, wider Official Development Assistance (ODA) pressures including the ODA-eligible expenditure incurred through the Afghan resettlement programme and the UK's support to people fleeing Ukraine, the FCDO and other ODA spending departments will need to revisit development aid budgets to ensure all eligible spending is managed within 0.5% of Gross National Incoming this calendar year.
The Government remains committed to transparency and will provide an update to Parliament on spending plans in due course.
