</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>No distinction is made between
those that are fragile and those experiencing active conflict for the purposes of
calculating spend. 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>
