(asked on 22nd January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what proportion of the UK's overseas development assistance is devoted to poverty reduction.
This question was answered on 7th February 2018
As set out in the UK Aid Strategy all UK Official Development Assistance seeks to achieve poverty reduction, as well as strengthen global peace, respond to crises and promote global prosperity. As the Strategy states there is no distinction between reducing poverty, tackling global challenges and serving our national interest - all are inextricably linked.
