A full breakdown of the UK's £286 million contribution to Afghanistan in financial year 2021/22 is included as an annex in the Written Ministerial Statement laid on 28 April 2022.

Discussions with our partners to determine contributions in 2022/23 are ongoing, but we will continue to provide significant support to partners, such as the World Food Programme (WFP), Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in addition to a variety of other UN agencies, NGOs and international organisations. Full details on financial allocations for this year will be communicated in due course.
