The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Annual Report and Accounts 2025-26 sets out the Department's 2026-27 programme spending plans, identifying separately planned Official Development Assistance (ODA) and non-ODA expenditure. The published plans provide breakdowns by region and country where allocations have been made, and by policy priority, international organisation and other central areas of expenditure.

In total, the FCDO plans £6.071 billion of ODA and £0.945 billion of non-ODA programme expenditure in 2026-27. The published information does not provide a breakdown of ODA and non-ODA by Resource DEL and Capital DEL at individual programme level. Final 2026-27 expenditure will be reported in the FCDO's 2026-27 Annual Report and Accounts.
