Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much bilateral expenditure the Department for International Development spent directly targeting reproductive health in (1) 2016–17, and (2) 2017–18.

DFID spent the following directly targeting reproductive health under the OECD Development codes 13021 (Reproductive Health Care) and 13081 (Personnel Development for Population and Reproductive Health):

2016/17: £ 72.5 million

2017/18: £ 72.5 million

This does not include direct bilateral expenditure on family planning, which is reported separately.
