The United Kingdom (UK) is Europe’s leading provider of Official Development Assistance (ODA). The UK gave £11.73 bn in ODA in 2014 and £12.2 bn in 2015, making it the second-largest aid donor in the world after the United States. The UK is one of only five OECD member states to have met the target of committing 0.7% of its GNI to ODA. In 2015, the UK became the first G7 country to make a pledge in law to commit to dedicate the 0.7% of GNI to ODA. This target was subsequently met by the UK for 2015.
