Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much and what proportion of the UK aid budget has been targeted at those living in fragile and conflict-affected countries in each of the last five years.

Official statistics on the UK Government's bilateral Official Development Assistance broken down by recipient country (including fragile and conflict affected states (FCAS)), is published annually in Statistics on International Development which is available online on GOV.uk.

As set out in the International Development Strategy, HMG will target its work in FCAS, including ensuring our work takes account of the causes and effects of conflict and draws on our combined diplomatic, defence and development capabilities.
