Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government which of the countries cited by David Cameron, in his role as chairman of the Commission on State Fragility, Growth and Development, as "poorer than they were 40 years ago despite the aid that has been delivered there" have been recipients of UK aid; and how much aid has been provided to each of those countries over the last 30 years.

DFID is not aware of the specific countries David Cameron was citing, nor is there a single comprehensive measure of wealth from which to derive those countries from. However, information on how much official development assistance the UK provides to individual developing countries is published in Statistics on International Development, which is available with this link:
