The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much overseas aid funding his Department disbursed to (a) the Kenyan government and (b) Kenyan civil society organisations in financial year (i) 2022-2023 and (ii) 2023-2024.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

In 2022 and 2023, Kenya featured within the top ten recipient countries for UK bilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA). In 2022/23 we spent £45 million of bilateral ODA in Kenya. In 2023/24, this figure increased to £48 million of bilateral ODA. Our assistance is not delivered directly to the Government of Kenya, but is disbursed to trusted partners and focused on refugees, women and girls, and climate-smart economic development.
