<p>Given the likely decrease in the size of the economy this year, and therefore a
decrease in the value of the 0.7% commitment, a package of £2.9bn of reductions in
the Government’s planned ODA spend has been agreed. This package includes underspends,
delaying activity and stopping some spend. The package will see some reductions made
now, with arrangements in place to tailor spending further during the remaining months
as we start to gain a clearer economic picture. As normal, there will continue to
be adjustments in-year to individual departmental ODA spend to meet the 0.7% commitment.</p>
