Nine African countries are set to see their UK bilateral aid cut by more than 80 per cent, after the government laid out the full breakdown of its plan to reduce the aid budget from 0.5 to 0.3 per cent of Gross National Income through to 2029.
Bilateral UK aid to African countries is set to fall from £1.6bn to under £700m, and the countries impacted includes numerous long-standing UK partners - including Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Mozambique - whose aid relationship is set to be virtually eliminated, or reduced to £5m or less.
