I have therefore chosen to answer these two questions together. DFID recognises 55 countries as being fragile or conflict-affected. The list is revised every two years. ODA spend is calculated on a calendar-year basis; provisional figures for 2014 UK ODA spend will be published in the spring. In addition, DFID funds multilateral organisations, global programmes and NGOs delivering programmes in FCAS.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne grouped question UIN 221850 question first answered 02/02/2015 17:51:09 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
