Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, pursuant to the Answer of 11 December 2017 to Question 117507 on Department for International Development: Science, if she will publish the allocation of science spending by region.

By thematically assigning funding for research (which is classified as science), rather than geographically, we ensure that Research and Innovation investments focus on the most pressing development challenges.

DFID funds over 150 programmes, most of which target multiple countries or regions. All information on countries or regions the programmes target is published online, on DFID’s development tracker.
