International Corruption Unit: Finance

Asked by Phil BrickellLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 13 April 2026UIN 124026

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much and what proportion of the budget for the international corruption unit within the National Crime Agency came from (a) Official Development Assistance through the UK Action Against Corruption Programme and (b) other non-aid funding sources in financial years 2024/25 and 2025/26; and what work was funded by non-aid funding sources.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The International Corruption Unit receives approximately 76% of its funding from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s ‘Official Development Assistance’ budget.

ODA funds are used in accordance with the conditions set out by the FCDO which include a focus on ‘priority countries’.

The FCDO publishes details of UKACT funding online here:
