UK to Cut Aid to Poorest Countries by 56%

The significant reduction in aid will likely exacerbate humanitarian challenges in the affected regions, potentially leading to increased instability.

The UK plans to reduce its bilateral aid to Africa by almost £900 million by 2028-29, marking a 56% budget cut. This reduction will significantly impact funding for crucial programs such as schools and clinics, amidst a broader cut of over £6 billion aimed at increasing defense spending.
