The figures for Official Development Assistance allocated to Ethiopia for 2019/20 and 2018/19 can be found in the respective Annual Report and Accounts covering those years. Figures for Official Development Assistance spend in Ethiopia for 2020/21 will be announced in this year's Annual Report and Accounts. Since November 2020, £42.7million has been allocated to the humanitarian response in Tigray to support those in need, working through other implementing partners. UK-funded partners such as the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UN Children's Fund, World Food Programme and International Committee of the Red Cross are providing food, shelter, water and healthcare in challenging circumstances. A further £5 million has been allocated to support refugees from the conflict in Sudan.
