It is the responsibility of local authorities to decide how to allocate funding for youth services according to local need, through the existing statutory duty (Education Act 2006, Section 507B). Government launched the Delivering Differently for Young People Programme to offer practical support to local authorities in exploring innovative and sustainable models for delivering youth services. Government continues to support the Centre for Youth Impact to work with youth organisations to undertake research to measure impact and demonstrate value to funders and commissioners. We are also committed to expanding National Citizen Service, which many youth sector organisations help to deliver. Government is taking new steps to encourage and enable social action. This includes a further £15m investment in the next phase of the Centre for Social Action. We want social action to become a lifelong habit.<\/p>"}

Details on 2015 calendar year Official Development Assistance (ODA) spend will be published in the National Statistics publication \u2018Provisional UK ODA as a proportion of Gross National Income 2015\u2019 on 1 April 2016, at department level. I am therefore providing values for the 6 year period 2009-2014.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is building science and innovation partnerships between the UK and emerging economies through the Newton Fund, which began in 2014. The Newton Fund is subject to the International Development Act 2002, whilst all other BIS ODA spend is not. However, all of the Department\u2019s ODA spending is in line with the aims of the International Development Act.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is also introducing a new Global Challenges Research Fund of £1.5 billion over the next five years to ensure the UK\u2019s world-leading research takes a leading role in addressing the problems faced by developing countries. This will mean that BIS\u2019s ODA spend will increase over the current Spending Review period.<\/p>
