Minor revisions to 2020 and 2021 UK ODA figures have been applied to the Excel summary tables. The changes do not affect the rounded figures given in the tables. The ODA:GNI ratio continues to be 0.70% in 2020 and 0.50% in 2021. See background notes 9.8 in the report for details.

Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the security situation in Afghanistan, we have temporarily removed potentially sensitive information (project title, description and channel of delivery) for UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) programmes in those countries.
