Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund is included as part of her Department's commitment to spending 0.7 per cent of gross national income on aid.
The Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) spend includes Official Development Assistance (ODA) eligible programmes which are included in the UK’s commitment to spend 0.7% of gross national income per year on aid. Over half the total of CSSF’s expenditure is not included in the 0.7% target as some security, stabilization and defence activities are not ODA eligible.
