answer text <p>The government’s commitment to spend 0.7% of Gross National Income on Official Development Assistance is measured on a calendar year rather than a financial year basis, according to the standards set by the OECD Development Assistance Committee. The cost of meeting the 0.7% commitment in the next calendar year will be dependent upon GNI forecasts, which will be published by the Office for Budget Responsibility at the Autumn Budget.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As set out in the draft Withdrawal Agreement, the UK will honour commitments made to the EU budget during the period of our membership. In time, we will have more flexibility to consider how we use the £1.5 billion of our aid budget we currently channel through the EU on an annual basis. We remain committed to spending 0.7% of our national income on development assistance to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).</p><p> </p><p>Where it makes sense, the UK remains open to pooling resources with the EU to maximise combined development impact in areas of our mutual interest if the UK has the required oversight over its funds and there is eligibility for UK organisations to implement any UK funded EU programmes.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is committed to meeting the target for Official Development Assistance (ODA) transparency laid down in the UK Aid Strategy and we routinely publish data on gov.uk. The FCO has brought in changes to the way we publish data, including upgrading computer systems, streamlining the data entry process and reviewing the level of detail we include in our data publications. Many of these changes are strategic and long term in nature, and are intended to facilitate much better data publishing by 2020. The FCO will continue to discuss the detailed findings with Publish What You Fund to identify further areas for improvement. We are confident that we will meet HMG’s transparency commitment by 2020 and are making sure that UK taxpayers’ money is spent well in ways that advance the UK Aid Strategy’s objectives.</p> more like this
