(asked on 28th November 2022) - View Source
Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much Official Development Assistance spending has been disbursed to programmes delivered by the United Nations Population Fund in each of the last five years for which data is available.
Table 1 shows the volume of UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) spending that has been disbursed to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in each of the last five years.
Part of the UK's ODA spending to UNFPA is unearmarked funding which is pooled with other donors' funding and disbursed as part of the UNFPA's core budget.
The other part of UK ODA flows through UNFPA as bilateral ODA, where UNFPA is acting as the delivery partner for UK bilateral aid programmes i.e. those where the funding is earmarked for a specific purpose or fund.
| £ thousands | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
| Core contributions (unearmarked) to UNFPA budget | 120,485 | 150,301 | 191,026 | 70,471 | 57,516 |
| Contributions to UNFPA earmarked for particular purpose | 20,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 | 8,000 |
| Total | 140,485 | 170,301 | 211,026 | 90,471 | 65,516 |
