Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what proportion of UK aid is delivered by third parties in each recipient country.

The UK spends aid through a range of delivery partners. Delivery partners are selected based on a value for money assessment of their capacity to deliver our objectives in the country we are working in.

Overall, for 2014, approximately 60% of total UK aid was delivered through multilateral organisations, 13% through non-governmental organisations, with the remainder through other partners including private sector suppliers, partner governments and research institutes.

Full details of 2015 spend in-country by delivery partners will be published in Statistics on International Development on 17^th November.
