🚨NEW: Today, the FCDO have announced allocations of the UK aid budget, which reveal severe cuts across the board including to Africa and the Middle East. Regional bilateral UK aid to Africa will decline by 56% from 2024/5, before the UK aid cuts, to 2028/29.

We are disappointed with the Government's aid spending allocation announcement, which pits development spending against defence spending. As Chair @SarahChampionMP told the Foreign Secretary, development spending is often a first form of defence.

"Cutting aid will not defend the UK’s interests but rather will make the world a less safe place."

"The UK must restore the aid budget, and use its G20 Presidency to find solutions that bridge the gap between the huge need for aid and available resources - such as reforming the system that bleeds Africa dry in unfair debt repayments.

🚨 Today the UK Government has set out further details of its aid budget cuts, the bilateral aid to Africa will be cut by almost £900 million by 2028 as part of devastating changes to Britain’s international aid spending. 🧵
