Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 28 January (HL435), how they calculated the 13.6 per cent of UK Official Development Assistance spent on sexual and reproductive health and rights in 2017–18.
Answered by
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
In the written answer HL435, the percentage's numerator was calculated as the sum of Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health spend using the Muskoka Methodology for Calculating Baselines and Commitments.
The percentage's denominator is FCDO total programme spend.
The data source used was the FCDO spending publication "Statistics on International Development 2017 to 2018: GPEX tables".
