Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will publish (a) a list of aid programmes that the UK funds in Syria and (b) the proposed reduction in UK aid to those programmes in 2021.

The UK has spent over £3.5 billion in response to the Syria crisis since 2012, which includes support to over 30 implementing partners including UN agencies and International NGO partners.

Our aid provides life-saving support to millions of Syrians, supporting refugees to remain in countries in the region, and enabling their host communities to accommodate them. Since the FCDO's response to the crisis began, our activities in the region have delivered more than 28 million monthly food rations, 14 million vaccines, 21 million medical consultations, 6 million cash grants and 10 million relief packages. The FCDO is working to finalise ODA budget allocations for financial year 2021/22 and until that is done will not be able to confirm individual country allocations. Final decisions have not yet been made.
