Recommendation 19

We welcome the government’s long overdue decision to invest in the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF), given the instrumental role the UK has played in designing the fund. The committee understand that the government must take difficult prioritisation decisions in view of its constrained ODA budget. However, we strongly believe that the government’s pending £400 million investment in the TFFF has come at the cost of cutting the UK’s already limited concessional ICF for those most in need. (Conclusion, Paragraph 69)
