The UK government announces substantial reductions to its development assistance for Malawi over the coming years. According to plans published by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), UK official development assistance (ODA) to Malawi is expected to fall from £50.2 million in 2025/26 to £20 million in 2026/27. Further cuts are scheduled to reach £10 million by 2028/29, which is described as a reduction of up to 90% compared with the 2025/26 level. The announcements are reflected in the FCDO’s Annual Report and Accounts, which outlines the future funding trajectory for the UK’s international development spending. The sources agree on the size of the reduction, the baseline amount received by Malawi in 2025/26, and the planned ODA figures for 2026/27 and 2028/29. The reports do not provide additional details in the excerpts about the reasons for the cuts or how the changes will affect specific programmes in Malawi.
