Today's allocations show the stark reality of the decision to slash the aid budget. We warned a year ago that it would lead to more poverty, less security, and diminish our standing in the world. This is the harsh reality. Read our chair’s statement @staff_heather

Fragile and conflict affected states will receive up to 71% of aid funding, but will still face 25% cut overall and non-fcas facing 60% cut. Remember Aid can help prevent conflict, that should be our focus.
Sarah Champion@SarahChampionMP

£11m more for BBC World Service (8%). Annual funding over next 3 years will be £148 m compared to £137m currently. Allocation is flat over 3 years meaning inflation will erode the instead in later years of the spending plan

Today we get more details on where FCDO funding cuts will land. I fear for the international impact, not least to our reputation. And remember in addition to 40% cuts, there are 25% staff cuts @CommonsIDC @icai_uk @bondngo @CGDev @Independent

I am proud that the UK's international development work supports women and girls across the world to thrive. On #IWD2026, I want to celebrate the women I met in DRC this week, as well as our commitment to stand with women and girls everywhere, every day.

.@LordMcConnell writes in @LabourList that the Foreign Secretary’s recognition of violence against women & girls in conflict as an ‘international emergency’ “will be fatally undermined if the UK goes ahead with disastrous funding cuts to aid …” labourlist.org/2026/03/intern…

Maria Finnerty@MariaFFinnerty

Exclusive on new analysis I did for @CAFOD in @Independent, finding that debt relief could help counteract the devastating impacts of @FCDOGovUK @10DowningStreet ODA cuts, announced one year ago today. Hundreds of millions of lives & livelihoods are on the line.

Drone strikes targeting humanitarian workers delivering food to starving people – this is an abomination. Humanity is failing the people of Sudan.   Aid workers and civilians must never be targeted. All parties must respect international law and agree to a humanitarian truce.

This week, we hosted an LCID parliamentary reception, where we had a packed room of MPs, peers and staffers joining us to discuss all things international development. It was wonderful to hear from FCDO Minister Baroness @JennyChapman and @DavidTaylor85!

We can no longer rely on aid to mask the inequities of the financial system, so we must fix it. The G20 presidency is our chance says Maria Finnerty of Labour Campaign for International Development labourlist.org/2025/12/g20-gl…
