Keir Starmer has announced that the UK will cut government spending on Official Development Assistance (ODA) from 0.5% of GNI to 0.3% by 2027. Following the dismantling of US international aid, there couldn’t be a worse time for these changes.

The cuts will plunge the UK’s aid budget to its lowest level in 25 years, and will not be enough to fund the defence increase needed – but the cuts will make a huge difference to the communities impacted. It is the poorest people and communities who will pay the price, from women on the frontline of the climate crisis in Senegal, to survivors of gender-based violence in Afghanistan.
