International Development Association: Finance

Asked by Mr Gregory CampbellDemocratic Unionist PartyForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 7 April 2025UIN 42418

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans to change funding committed to the International Development Association.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The UK is strongly committed to the International Development Association and its centrality in development finance. The impacts of the decision to reduce UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) from 0.5 per cent of gross national income to 0.3 per cent are still being worked through and 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.
