UK foreign aid spending is set to drop to 0.3% of gross national income by 2027, the lowest level this century, as the government reallocates funds to increase defense spending against Russia. Starting in 2026, cuts totaling £6.5 billion will significantly impact foreign aid departments, with a projected workforce reduction of up to 25%. NGOs warn that these reductions will lead to the closure of many programs, and funding for overseas health projects will also see a substantial decrease.
