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>
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>
