UK Warns Aid Cutbacks Will Fall Heavily on Women, Children
The UK's own assessment of its decision to slash overseas aid warns that it will harm women, children and people with disabilities in Africa.
The evaluation was included in a report Tuesday that detailed which specific development programs would be cut after Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for reducing such aid from 0.5% of the UK's economy to 0.3% to help cover increase military spending.
