The impact on specific programmes is being worked through following the decision to reduce UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) from 0.5% of Gross National Income (GNI) to 0.3% in 2027. We will be taking a rigorous approach to ensure all ODA delivers value for money. Announcements will be made following the completion of the ongoing Spending Review process.
