<p>The UK government works overseas to tackle drugs supply to the UK alongside other
serious and organised crime (SOC) threats in line with the direction and ambition
set out in the SOC Strategy 2018.</p><p>Overseas counter-narcotics activities are
part of wider funded activities (both Official Development Assistance (ODA) and non-ODA)
designed to tackle the underlying drivers, enablers and consequences associated with
serious and organised crime in developing countries as well as tackling penetration
across borders.</p><p>The Home Office is committed to ensuring transparency and accountability
in all its aid projects, in line with the UK Aid Strategy. Significant progress has
been made to that effect, with the 2020 UK Aid Transparency Review listing the Home
Office as one of just three departments to have been publishing good quality results
data, but we recognise there is more to be done. We will continue to work closely
with DfID and other HMG departments on best practices to improve UK aid and its impact.</p>
