Calls for a multi-billion-pound cut in the UK’s foreign aid budget and the abolition of the Department for International Development are a “recipe for disaster”, NGOs have warned.
Penny Mordaunt has proposed plans to change the rules on aid to include millions of pounds from private investment and “reduce the ask on the public purse”.
The way the UK spends its international aid budget will be “reset” to help the world’s poor and win back the trust of “sceptical” British taxpayers, Penny Mordaunt has said.
