Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the UK's Africa Approach launch on 15 December 2025, what measurable objectives the Government has set for its modernised approach to relations with African countries, and over what timeframe progress will be assessed.

The statement published on 15 December (UIN HCWS1168) sets out the seven areas of shared interest which we will prioritise alongside our African partners over the coming year, and we will set out the progress made in each area in due course, including on measurable objectives such as the scaling up of private capital for African development priorities, and the Mission 300 goals on access to electricity.
