Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the answer of 9 September 2026 to Question 20972 on Overseas Development Institute, what programmes ODI was (a) contracted and (b) funded to provide since July 2024.

From July 2024, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) had contractual or grant funding arrangements with Overseas DeveIopment Institute (ODI) covering the Global Girls Research Initiative; African Continental Free Trade Area Support Programme; ODI Fellowship Scheme; Small Island Developing States capacity and resilience; humanitarian action and financial analysis; Tanzania's Development Vision 2050; climate finance; UK-Rwanda trade and investment; women-led humanitarian organisations; the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty; food diplomacy; civic space; China's Belt and Road Initiative; and security and stabilisation activity.

FCDO records show cumulative receipts of £29.06 million against these arrangements. This is not the amount spent since July 2024, as the total includes payments against arrangements entered into before July 2024 which remained active or continued to receive payments after that date.
