answer text <p>The government’s commitment to spend 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) on Official Development Assistance is measured on a calendar year basis. To meet this commitment, ODA budgets are routinely adjusted at fiscal events in response to changing forecasts. The most recent GNI forecasts are available in the Office for Budgetary Responsibility’s October 2018 Economic and Fiscal Outlook and can be found in the Economy supplementary tables.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK is a strong supporter of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) and we work closely with the partnership. The GPEI has reduced cases of polio by 99.9% since 1988. Notwithstanding its success, transmission of the poliovirus has not been interrupted. This means the world cannot yet be certified polio free and as such GPEI are developing a new strategy taking them past 2019.</p> more like this
