Allegations that UNRWA staff were involved in the events that took place on 7 October in Israel are appalling, which is why we took decisive action to pause future funding to the organisation.

The Prime Minister has been clear that the UK will set out its position on future funding to UNRWA following careful consideration of Catherine Colonna's final report, UNRWA's response and the ongoing UN Office for Internal Oversight Services investigation into these allegations.

We have regular discussions with international counterparts on all aspects of the conflict.

The Prime Minister has requested that I [Minister Mitchell] represent the UK at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact as the Cabinet Minister with responsibility for International Development and Africa. As the UK Governor for five of the biggest Multilateral Development Banks, including the World Bank, I am actively engaged in the reform of the International Financial System and will represent UK views at this summit.

I [Minister Mitchell] gave a Written Ministerial Statement [https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2023-03-30/hcws705] on 30 March setting out indicative figures for FCDO's Official Development Assistance (ODA) budget for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. These include indicative figures for all multilateral organisations of £3.311 billion in 2022-2023 and £3.974 billion in 2023-2024. Funding settlements are being communicated to multilateral partners, including the health multilaterals and have already been sent to Unitaid.

British International Investment's (BII) investment plans cover the period of its new five-year Strategy 2022-2026. As the sole shareholder, the Government has committed to continue to support BII including through delivery of BII's strategy. We have allocated £289.5 million in 2022/23 to support BII's capital investments. We will ensure that our funding is invested where it will have maximum impact and delivers most value for money. FCDO is currently undertaking a business planning process for future years. No decisions on individual budgets have been taken yet by Ministers. Further details will be provided through the established approval process and meet FCDO transparency requirements.

All parties at COP27, including the UK, agreed to establish new funding arrangements for assisting developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, as well as a fund for responding to loss and damage (L&D). Parties also agreed to establish a Transitional Committee to operationalise the funding arrangements and the fund.

The UK is pro-actively engaging with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and parties at official level to establish the Transitional Committee membership for the L&D fund and will continue to constructively engage with it to help ensure the fund and wider funding arrangements for L&D deliver effectively for countries most vulnerable to climate change.

At COP27 the UK announced £5 million of funding for the Santiago Network for L&D, which will bring together and enhance the technical assistance available to developing countries suffering from the worst impacts of climate change, as part of a £13 million package of support on adaptation and losses and damages.

The UK continues to prioritise adaptation and spent £2.4 billion of International Climate Finance (ICF) over 2016-2020 on climate adaptation, including investments in areas relevant to addressing losses and damages.

I refer the honourable member to the figures in my [Minister Mitchell] reply to their PQ 102950.

We track the full amount of funding going from the UK to the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). However the data on the CGIAR Dashboards https://www.cgiar.org/dashboards/ is not broken down by Official Development Assistance (ODA) and non-ODA.

The Famine Prevention and Humanitarian Crises Compact was agreed during the UK's G7 Presidency, and we have provided our share of the $7 billion in humanitarian assistance to the countries one step from famine in 2021. We continue to deliver on our policy commitments in the Compact. For example, in October we partnered with G7 President Germany and the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership to co-host a donor event on Financing for Early and Anticipatory Action.

The UK is still the largest donor to the South Sudan Health Pool Fund (HPF3), providing up to £175 million from 2018 to 2024. HPF3 supports more than 500 public health facilities across South Sudan, including 15 hospitals, and around 4,400 community health workers. In August, the FCDO, on behalf of HPF3 donors, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the South Sudanese Government, setting out how we will transition responsibility for the provision of health services at seven state hospitals and Al-Saba Children's Hospital to the South Sudanese authorities by March 2023. By sustaining our support for community health workers, we will enable continued treatment for common childhood illnesses in locations where there has been a withdrawal of HPF3 funding.

The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) remains a top priority for the UK Government. Since 2012, the FCDO has allocated over £50 million to PSVI-related activities. The UK committed £2.6 million in FY 20-21 and £4.2 million in FY 21-22 to the PSVI. On 28 November at the PSVI International Conference, the Foreign Secretary will announce a new PSVI Strategy and programmes over the next three years to deliver PSVI strategic objectives. Across these objectives, we will harness world-class UK expertise, including the UK's PSVI Team of Experts and by bringing our diplomatic and defence levers to bear on tackling the scourge of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). PSVI funding is complemented by wider investments across FCDO, such as the What Works to Prevent Violence: Impact at Scale programme, which will contribute to generating a world-class evidence base on what works to prevent CRSV.
