As highlighted in the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report launched yesterday, progress to end hunger and malnutrition by 2030 remains off-track and is set to stall further in the face of COVID-19. The UK remains committed to preventing and treating malnutrition as part of our commitment to end the preventable deaths of mothers, newborns and children and DFID has contributed £15 million of UK aid to the World Food Programme’s global COVID-19 response. In addition, I’m pleased to say that the RAF has now flown four UK aid-funded flights in support of WFP’s COVID-19 response plan.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 15/07/2020 15:55:17 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

All UK ODA is spent in accordance with the rules set by the OECD DAC and the UK’s International Development Act 2002. As outlined in the Conservative manifesto, this Government will continue to be a champion of the rules-based international system. Where the UK has considered the international aid rules to be outdated, we have led the way in working with others to push for reforms. Ensuring the rules remain fit for purpose is an ongoing commitment.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 24/03/2020 17:16:30 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
