Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much his Department spent on (a) healthcare, (b) education, (c) climate and (d) other international development programmes in each month since August 2019, by type of project in receipt of that funding.

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).

ODA is an international measure and is collected and reported on a calendar year basis. It is not possible to disaggregate these figures by month. UK ODA figures for 2020 will be published in Autumn 2021, via Statistics on International Development: Final UK Aid Spend 2020.

SID is collected and reported in line with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reporting directives, therefore using the OECD sector categories. There are distinct sector categories for Health and Education. The table below presents Foreign, Commonwealth and Develoment Office (FCDO) bilateral ODA for 2019:

FCDO Bilateral ODA: 2019

FCDO's International Climate Finance (ICF) spend is published annually via the Department's Annual Report and Accounts. In 2019/20, FCDO ICF spend was £761 million.

FCDO publishes regular open data through the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). This operational data covers current live programmes and will include 2020 spend. The raw data can be accessed at IATI Registry and is shown on the Development Tracker website: https://devtracker.fcdo.gov.uk/
