Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much Official Development Assistance has been disbursed to projects in (a) conflict prevention and resolution and (b) ending violence against women and girls in each of the last five years.
Conflict prevention, resolution, and addressing the drivers of conflict is a whole of government effort, combining the UK's diplomatic, development and defence capabilities. FCDO does not disaggregate Official Development Assistance (ODA) "conflict prevention and resolution" spend. Statistics on HMG's ODA spend are published annually on https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/statistics-on-international-development-final-uk-aid-spend-2021.
Ending violence against women and girls remains a top priority for the Government. The table outlines UK ODA spend on tackling violence against women and girls.
