<p>In Financial Year 2022/23, the UK intends to provide approximately £156 million
in humanitarian aid across East Africa including countries in the Horn of Africa.
Of this amount, currently more than £93 million has been programmed and spent. £170
million of development aid has currently been programmed and spent in East Africa,
also including countries in the Horn of Africa.</p><p>Given the government's response
to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, wider Official Development Assistance (ODA) pressures
including the ODA-eligible expenditure incurred through the Afghan resettlement programme
and the UK's support to people fleeing Ukraine, the FCDO and other ODA spending departments
will need to revisit development aid budgets to ensure all eligible spending is managed
within 0.5% of GNI this calendar year.</p><p>The Government remains committed to transparency
and will provide an update to Parliament on spending plans in due course.</p>
