UK aid aims to achieve the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals and the Government\u2019s objectives as set out in the 2015 UK Aid Strategy. As such, the UK focuses most of its aid spending on countries with the highest need; in low-income, fragile, and conflict-affected regions. Some assistance is provided to middle-income countries where there are still enduring high levels of poverty. These countries may no longer need grant aid, but may require assistance in other ways, such as technical expertise or help raising their own revenue to reduce poverty. The 2016 bilateral and multilateral development reviews (available here<\/a> and here<\/a>) set out our approach to allocations in more detail.<\/p>"}
