The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much official development assistance has been allocated to Myanmar for the 2026-2027 financial year.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The UK continues to be a leading humanitarian donor in Myanmar, having provided over £80 million over the past financial year (2025/26) in life-saving humanitarian assistance, emergency healthcare and support for education and civil society, including £25 million for people affected by the March 2025 earthquake. Over the past year, we have supported over 1.4 million people with humanitarian assistance and provided 1.3 million people with essential health services.

We will set out the details of future allocations to Myanmar, and the programmes to be funded, in due course, but we will continue to stand by those in greatest need of lifesaving assistance, as well as reducing drivers of conflict.
