The Center for Global Development, a research group, says UK aid will reach only 0.29% of national income in 2027, against a 0.3% target. Its researchers blame higher-than-expected inflation and a 2025 change to the Foreign Office's budget, and want ministers to add money in this week's budget. Ian Mitchell, a senior fellow there, says £400m would halve planned cuts to Africa.
