What is the SNP doing for international development?

Since 2007, we’ve doubled our International Development Fund to £9 million per annum, and launched the Climate Justice Fund, bringing our total spend on international development work since 2007 to over £86 million. We have also highlighted Scotland’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals.

As well as increasing the Climate Justice Fund to £3 million per annum, we will increase the International Development Fund to £10 million per annum. We will also continue our Small Grants Scheme that has allowed many smaller agencies to contribute to our poverty reduction goals.

We will produce an annual report on the impact of our international development and other government policies on global poverty to ensure that their impact is fully assessed.
