A Bill to amend the International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Act 2015 in order to provide for a five year reporting period instead of an annual reporting period.
House of Lords
2 May 2017
This bill would change the reporting period for the UK's official development assistance (ODA) from annual to five-year intervals. It does not change the ODA target itself, but changes how often the government must publish a report on progress. The aim is to simplify reporting and align it with longer-term planning.
The bill is at the second reading stage in the House of Lords. It would need to pass through further stages in the Lords and then move to the House of Commons.
