Priority of the Official Development Assistance Budget
According to the 2021 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index report conducted by the United Nations Development Programme, 644 million people (half of whom are children) live in poverty. Nearly 85% live in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia. However, beyond this, 1.3 billion people are classified as multidimensionally poor – which means people are experiencing some form of poverty in health, education, and/or standard of living. As a member of the world-leading inter-governmental forum, the G7 – whose collective membership possesses 50% of the world’s wealth ($418 trillion) – the United Kingdom has a moral responsibility to help combat global poverty.
The primary UK legislation which can undoubtedly help assuage poverty is the Overseas Development Assistance (ODA). This legislation aims to strengthen global peace, security and governance; strengthen resilience and response to crises; promote global prosperity; tackle extreme poverty and help the world’s most vulnerable. Promoting the ODA is also beneficial to expanding the UK’s economy. By assisting people out of poverty, they become consumers, thus opening new potential markets for UK companies.

Conflict in Sudan
Conflict in Sudan
The war in Sudan has had a devastating impact on civilians, who bear the brunt of the violence. Over 30 million people now require humanitarian assistance. Sudan has become the world’s largest displacement crisis, with more than 11 million people internally displaced and millions more forced to flee across borders.
The situation is deteriorating rapidly. According to the UN, famine is already present in multiple regions, including displacement camps in Darfur and Kordofan, with millions at risk of starvation as food, water, and medical supplies become unreachable due to active fighting and deliberate access restrictions. Outbreaks of cholera, measles, and other preventable diseases continue to spread due to the collapse of Sudan’s health system.
Attacks on residential areas, along with the use of sexual and gender-based violence, summary executions, and arbitrary detention, have further compounded the human toll.
Humanitarian agencies are unable to reach people in need. Aid convoys have been blocked, workers attacked, and vital border crossings closed. The UN has repeatedly warned that without immediate and unhindered humanitarian access, hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk.
The United Kingdom has a longstanding commitment to upholding human rights, promoting peace, and advancing the principles of international law. By calling for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan and the restoration of humanitarian aid corridors, the UK can demonstrate its leadership on the world stage and contribute to efforts aimed at preventing further loss of life and alleviating the suffering of innocent civilians.

Andy Burnham, Support International Development
Andy Burnham, Support International Development
The UK has a new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, and a new government. The early days of any government provide an important opportunity to influence its priorities.
Prime Minister Burnham has said that every government policy should pass his “Makerfield Test” by demonstrating how it benefits communities like his constituency of Makerfield and people across the UK.
International development already meets that test.
Investment in Official Development Assistance (ODA) helps build a safer, healthier and more prosperous world while also delivering benefits for the United Kingdom through improved global stability, stronger health security, future economic opportunities and increased international influence.
As international development funding continues to face pressure, it is important that the Government demonstrates its commitment to tackling global poverty and rebuilding the UK’s role as a global leader in development.
