answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2023 answer text <p>Following Official Development Assistance (ODA) prioritisation exercises undertaken in March 2021, the UK no longer provides direct financial aid to the Palestinian Authority. All UK support to the Palestinian Authority is provided through technical advice, procured through commercial suppliers.</p><p>The FCDO aid budget is allocated in accordance with UK strategic priorities against a challenging financial climate. There is a robust framework in place for allocating ODA. Data on ODA spend in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is available on DevTracker (https://devtracker.fcdo.gov.uk/countries/PS). More than 80 per cent of our ODA spend this year of UK support will be used to meet humanitarian need, or to provide vital health, education, and protection services for Palestinian Refugees.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL10488 question first answered 26/10/2023 10:36:39 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
