PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Indonesia: Development Aid (28 March 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, which projects in Indonesia are being funded with Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) from the UK Government either (a) directly or (b) by the UK Prosperity Fund or (c) by CDC or (d) by multilateral organisations to which the UK contributes ODA.

Asked by:
Dame Harriett Baldwin (Conservative)

Answer

The Statistics on International Development (SID) National Statistics report, published on the gov.uk website, provide an overview of all official UK spend on Official Development Assistance (ODA). ODA is an international measure and is collected and reported on a calendar year basis.

In answer to the specific breakdowns requested:

A. UK bilateral ODA to Indonesia in 2020 (latest year available) was £33.3mn (as reported in SID Table A4b) https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/statistics-on-international-development-final-uk-aid-spend-2020

For more information on active Indonesia ODA programmes please see the DevTracker page on Indonesia (https://devtracker.fcdo.gov.uk/countries/ID).

B. Details of Prosperity Fund ODA programmes that benefit Indonesia can also be found in "Data underlying the SID" using the "Extending Agency field".

C. As part of CDC / BII's new five year strategy which was launched at the start of 2022, they are seeking to expand their investment portfolio in South East Asia, including in Indonesia. CDC has a portfolio of three indirect investments in Indonesia made via two investment funds: Neoma South East Asia Fund II, and Sarataoga Asia II LP.

The estimated amount of UK ODA funding to the core budgets of multilateral organisations, which was then spent in Indonesia, is published in SID Table A10. This presents the UK Imputed Multilateral Shares for 2015 to 2019 (latest available year). Information on multilateral programmes that benefit Indonesia can also be found on the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) multilateral activity dataset (https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?ThemeTreeId=3) .
