Development Aid: Water
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much her Department spent on bilateral water, sanitation and hygiene projects in the 2024-25 financial year.
Answered by Chris Elmore
UK bilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) for water supply and sanitation, which includes hygiene, is released annually in the UK Government Publication Statistics for International Development. The latest report, published in September 2025, shows that UK bilateral ODA spent on water supply and sanitation totalled £80million in the 2024 calendar year. The Statistics for International Development publishes data on an annual basis rather than by financial year.
