Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much funding his Department provided for sexual and reproductive health and rights through (a) bilateral and (b) multilateral aid in (i) 2020, (ii) 2021 and (iii) 2022.

Based on the "Statistics on International Development: final UK aid spend 2021", and the Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) spend methodology laid out in the "Donor Delivering for SRHR" 2022 report:

a/ The total amount of UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) SRHR funding disbursed by bilateral aid was:

i/ £372 million in 2020,

ii/ £242 million in 2021

iii/ UK ODA figures beyond December 2021 are not yet available, estimates for 2022 spending will be available in autumn 2023.

b/ The total amount of UK ODA SRHR funding disbursed by core multilateral aid was:

i/ £185 million in 2020. Please note we previously provided a lower figure of £142 million; 2019 SRHR attribution coefficients were applied erroneously to 2020 spend figures. This has now been corrected.

ii/ SRHR attribution coefficient for multilateral aid beyond 2020 are not available yet, they will be published in the next "Donor Delivering for SRHR" 2023 report.
