As announced in 2020, the impact of the global pandemic on the UK economy has forced us to take the tough but necessary decision to temporarily reduce our spend on official development assistance (ODA) as a share of the UK's gross national income. This has led to a reduction in the budget allocations for our existing programmes in the last two years.
