This question was answered on 11th December 2017
DFID does not allocate its research budget geographically by region. Allocation is based on priority themes set out in the 2016 Research Review. In 2016-17 DFID spent £321 million on research (which classifies as science expenditure). DFID funded research partnerships span different regions and multiple countries, with the highest footprint of research taking place in East and West Africa.
