Recommendation 14

For the UK to continue being a lead actor within the United Nations Security Council, and a leading global actor in the prevention and resolution of conflict, it is critical that the Government sets out a pathway and 47 timeline as to how it will return to spending 0.5%, and ultimately 0.7%, of Gross National Income on Official Development Assistance spend as soon as is fiscally possible. This should include details of a protected budget dedicated to conflict prevention, mediation and civilian-led peacebuilding. (Recommendation, Paragraph 66)
