Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Integrated Security Fund Annual Report 2024–25, of 30 October 2025, for what reason the ISF’s non-ODA spend for Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2024–25 is recorded as negative.

As set out in the Integrated Security Fund (ISF) Annual Report, in the financial year 2024/25 funding which had previously been provided to the Afghan National Army Trust Fund (ANATF), was returned to the ISF following the change in context in Afghanistan in the financial year 2021/22. Therefore, the ISF’s non-ODA balance of spend in Afghanistan and Pakistan portfolio in financial year 2024/25 is recorded as negative £1.51m.
