The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what contribution he will make to the World Bank IDA's 21st replenishment.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The impact on the UK contribution to the World Bank International Development Association's (IDA) 21st replenishment is being worked through following the decision to reduce UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) from 0.5% of GNI to 0.3% in 2027. We will be taking a rigorous approach to ensure all ODA delivers value for money. We will set out our spending plans following the completion of the Spending Review and departmental resource allocation processes.
